It felt very refreshing reading one of your stories after a while. Though it was intended for 9-11 year olds, it was wonderful to read. I liked it a lot. This is a wonderful story Teresa.

Our faith community is working on a program for our children where we use stories to highlight the virtues evident in Jesus life. We would like to use the above story (with some adaptations because our target age is quite a bit younger - age 2 to 8 or so). The link to our adaptation is here: http://jesusvirtues.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/ramesh-and-the-parrot-feathers/ I included a link back to your site. Could you review that and let me know if it is o.k. with you? If you do not want us to use this story, please let me know and I will remove the story before it is used in our monthly ritual. Thank you again for your great site and wonderful stories. Dan McLaughlin Hi Teresa – thank you so much for the wonderful stories on your site.

Somehow the chief was able to connect to the future through the boy. It is not through intellect and mind perhaps. May be space has something to do with it. I don’t know it's an enigma to me. But that in itself is nice. It’s a marvellous riddle, makes us think. The story is very subtle. Somehow the chief was able to connect to the future through the boy.

What superb touch in telling a story. That portrayal of the Chief Thunderbird is delectable. He is the central character in the story isn’t it? I enjoyed the nuances in the tale immensely.

]]> Comment on The Crown Centre. A story to illustrate the use of the energy centre at the top of the head. by samronsilva http://yogastories.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/the-crown-centre-a-story-to-illustrate-the-use-of-the-energy-centre-at-the-top-of-the-head/#comment-391 samronsilva Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:58:57 +0000 http://yogastories.wordpress.com/?p=492#comment-391 What a nice story! I once tried to awaken the force called Kundalini (the potential energy that is within us) by regulation of breath (Pranayama). Even after intense practice I was unable to do this for a long time. Then I turned to other spiritual practices, though I still continued with the breathing technique to keep in good health. But by then I had started to doubt the very existence of the force and the energy centers in us. Then one day I had a spontaneous awakening of this force while meditating. I had some trouble controlling it. It is such a powerful force. But anyway, it put my doubts to rest for ever. The crown center when fully activated will make you like the Buddha, it is said. Your stories on the energy centers made me recall my experience with them. Thank you for the nice story. What a nice story!
