I would like to speak on the amount of [[anxiety]] [[surrounding]] the [[reception]] of your [[personal]] [[teachers]]. I know this is a [[difficult]] [[process]] for many of you. I also know that you each try in your own ways to reach your [[teachers]] - those of you who have requested them. I would offer a suggestion to you. After your [[silent]] time, form a [[question]] in your [[mind]]. Allow it to sit in the foreground and [[practice]] the similar [[technique]] that you practice with the [[silent]] time. I would ask that you [[simply]] indulge yourself in any train of [[thought]] that may occur. When we first [[contact]] you, it sounds very much like your own [[thought]] [[process]]. Please do not stifle these thoughts. You may think you [[invent]] them, that they come from your [[subconscious]]. Whether or not this is true, I would ask you to allow yourself the [[luxury]] of pursuing the train of thought that does occur. I think that many of you will find this very interesting and [[rewarding]]. Attempt to [[contact]] your [[teachers]] at times you are [[relaxed]] and have no other pressing [[duties]]. Many of those who have found success with this also find that [[performing]] menial tasks that occupy the forefront of their [[minds]] and sometimes their hands have an easier time of [[relaxing]] into this [[process]]. For those of you who enjoy walking in the woods, walking through the streets, I would [[encourage]] you to do this. This is a [[difficult]] process. I repeat, do not [[judge]] yourselves too harshly. | I would like to speak on the amount of [[anxiety]] [[surrounding]] the [[reception]] of your [[personal]] [[teachers]].
