Thanks Kevin - Keep teaching those kids as they are most receptive to meditation and usually get the most out of it. Jeff

Well said, that dip has tried to suck me under many times - like most of last month. I think we all thought this would be easy when we got into it, but you have accurately identified the fact that it's not a place for dabblers. :) Jeff
