/*\ Namaste Group :-}}

- again, honored that each of you volunteered to don the robes of the guinea pig

>:-}}

- so, was most everyone working on hybernating??

bagl

- for myself?? I felt pretty cranked up - anticipating the return of the sun

>:-}}

- I felt as if all but one of last night's group came to the circle sort of snuggled up in their energy coccoons, so to speak

>:-}}

- this made the work, from my perspective, very "low key", except perhaps for one guinea pig

>:-}}

- all went very smootly and I felt some substantial clearing was accomplished - and actually the session was rather longer than usual or than I suspected

- I may have got caught up just a little in the slightly hypnotic "hybernative "energy of the group

>:-}}

- yet I was still juiced when the session was done and did not get to bed much before 1:00 AM - but slept as if I were hybernating

- take care,

- all Joys of the Yule to you and yours

Firekeeper,

I think I must have been the guinea pig that was not hybernating. I was pretty wired.

However, with me, the results don't make themselves evident for a couple of days.

Blessings,
Roxy

Firekeeper,

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

I am embarassed to admit that I went to bed and slept!

I didn't feel a thing, although I am assured you did your marvelous magic, when I woke up this a.m.

Thank you for including me in this most likely sonambulent group!

Hi Firekeeper & fellow K-K'ers,

I too have to hold my hand up and say I fell asleep!
I put aside a few minutes before the allotted time with the intention of relaxing and clearing my mind, and promptly fell asleep.
Sorry!
Needless to say, I had the best night's sleep in a while and woke this morning much better from the cold I am nursing.

Take care - blessings of the season to you.

Hello Firekeeper and Friends,
i was not hibernating-it´s too hot in Buenos Aires these days- but i was asleep and had very, very intense dreams, as far as i can remember.
One of them was about snakes and lizards, that were opening as mamushka dolls, and i could find baby snakes and lizards inside them...this was somehow endless, as i was opening these lizards and snakes and finding more and more of them. I guess it was somehow related to CHANGE; to opening myself to change, changing "my skin" and starting over..it was a dream about endless opportunities.....the animals were all surrounded by water...i was climbing up a tower, made of wood that it was right by the beach and that had a great view of the ocean....but the tower moved a little with the wind..and inside they were all these animals. this dream was interesting and pleasant... i know i had another dream prior to this one which was somehow disturbing...but i can´t remember it.
any ideas?
anyways i feel much better now, i am more relaxed than i was before the K-k?
love
Lady cyan

Dear Firekeeper,

I was working till 1130pm & on the road thereafter. I do remember about 12 midnight or so while driving that I just kept smiling for some unknown reason, never could connect it with a thought or feeling. The next morning I felt a bit out of sorts & grumpy & I am so again this morning...think its just a combo of things including holiday stressors but could be clearing as well...thank you for including me, I needed it. I may be the one who wasnt quite with the program. :)

peace & joy,
holobon

Namaste Firekeeper and K-K group,

Thank you for including me in the group K-K this month.

Like the last time, I used a meditation technique called Light Body to reach a higher space and connect to the Cosmic. I felt I was well connected because there was lots of light around me and I felt myself expanding endlessly. From there, I sent my love and light to everyone in the group (I hope it was all right to do so). It was a glorious experience.

I just came back from Japan and was dealing with a jet lag, but I feel better now.

Thank you,

Maxerbear

Namaste Firekeeper,

Thank you once again for allowing me to participate in your KK session. I had spent 2 hours that evening at a church choir dress rehearsal for Midnight Mass, so my energy that evening was probably good. However I was so tired that I was asleep for your KK, which is 11:30 est.

Friday was hectic, and by the evening I was becoming ill and came down with body aches and chills last night. I am progressively feeling better, so I wonder if the KK didn't help me to get rid of some virus I've been harboring. It felt like the beginning of the flu, but now feels more like a cold.

I hope your holidays are full of cheer and goodwill.

Blessings,
Starlight

This K-K was different for me -- this time I was wide awake and the K-K was energizing. I worked through the week to secure the intent I had set for the 18th, in case I would be asleep or caught up in an activity at the time, and when the time did come, I actually stayed up late to work on a creative project! I felt like I caught the energy wave! :) It also lasted a long time for me. I'm familiar enough with the K-K now that I strongly agree that "Energy cocoon" describes very well the state that I experience. I also notice that emotions and memories are not as present during this state, and that when I am awake for K-K (blush), my focus contracts so that I remain with one activity. Becoming single-minded. :)

As for post-K-K results, my first K-K seemed to help manifest cleansing (cold-like) symptoms, but since this K-K, a couple of headaches and more tired but those make sense due to present life factors -- less to do with post-K-K than my body choosing these ways in which to cleanse -- overall my body feels very good to me, although with small changes still going on.

Thank you again, Firekeeper. :) Your Solstice spirit appreciated!!

Although I think it's funny that so many of us feel like we must have been the bad guinea pig. Does K-K cleanse guilt? ;)

Namaste,

many thanks,

- bad guinea pig??

bagl

- implies good guinea pig!

- much too dualistic - for me at any rate

>:-}}

- yes, I am not so sure about all that

>:-}}

- if one uses the clearing to work on guilt issues??? Yes, the K-K may be of some value

>:-}}

- I try to assure each guinea pig (in the info I send) that what one is doing at the time of the K-K really does not matter

>:-}}

- although, from almost three years of feedback from many guinea pigs, Group and Individual K-K (many of them having donned the robes any numnber of times), I would say that the most "receptive" states may be "meditation", yoga, other relaxaing activity, sleeping (not necessarily in that order for everyone)
