I'd be curious to know everyone's story: from being Mormon to now being on this path. Not everyone takes it. Why are we a minority within the NOM/PostMo community? Are there others like us and they just don't know we exist? I'm also curious what has been helping you: yoga, zen meditation, buddhism, what and why? Thanks for the feedback.

I am just beginning my yoga and meditation practice and feel I am just on the edge of understanding what you speak of but yet, I get it. It resonates and speaks to me. What I have experienced, postmormon & in mediation/prayer, has been so much more enriching spiritually than what I generally experienced as a TBM.

I completely understand your experience and could have written that first paragraph myself. Finding myself unexpectedly in the middle of yoga or meditation in a completely different state of consciousness. I also find that I can't bring these experiences up by trying. The more I try to create them, the more it's just humorous. These experiences seem to come when I'm just present in the flow and breath of the asana with no attachment to anything. That's one reason why I believe in the power of the asana itself. YES!!!! I completely understand your experience and could have written that first paragraph myself.
