Growth Interupted

[Brian]

Greetings JOS family,
I have been very sick the last couple of months,with a severe bacterial infection.Since I have COPD,and the infection has attacked my lungs,it has been hard to breath,as well as do anything physically.Before this happened I had progressed to the point of all my chakras being opened,and doing Hatha Yogo for thirty minutes before hand.I haven't been able to do power meditations for about six weeks now.the thing I hate the most is after making such great progress spiritually,now I feel I have to start all over again when I get well again.I am a little disapointed to say the least.But I will get strong spiritually again.I am determined!Keep me in thoughts family.
Hail Satan!
Brian.

Brian, you're not alone (not that it's any consolation). This sort of thing happens to people from time to time. I know it has with me and it can get very discouraging.

One thing that I found during such times, so that I can "hold my own" so to speak, is what I refer to as mini-meditations. Sometimes when sick and in considerable pain, just the idea of spending a consecutive hour or two or even more in meditation is daunting. (I found even with the "minis" that I'd start and then got so deep into it that before I knew it one or two hours would have elapsed; so much for the "mini" time-slot at those times! ... but the idea is that it works.)

But be sure that even abbreviated meditations have power and it's much easier to find 10-15 minutes here and there. (For those of us doing the Magnum Opus, for example, it's extremely important that one not miss; protection exercises also need to be done daily and they only take a minute anyway.)

I had a friend who had silicosis (he was a miner & loved it but there's often a health price to pay) and he also had COPD and emphysema, so I have some idea what you're going through ... Not fun ... Hang in there and stay strong!
