Then quite unexpectedly I had an experience that was impossible to understand at the level of the intellect yet I couldn’t ignore.  This was before the days of the internet so I began reading every spiritual book I could find in hopes of understanding what I’d experienced.  Eventually I declared to the Universe I wanted to stop reading and start experiencing.  About this time, I began taking yoga classes.  Slowly my physical body started to become flexible, open up, and expand.  Along the way yoga became more than a physical practice and became my doorway into a deeper spiritual exploration.  My journey has been revealing itself ever since, like a delicious sauce simmering on the stove.  Yet unlike a sauce, I never consider myself done, I’m constantly  working on myself, diving deep into the layers and expanding out even further.
