Greetings everyone.
Like I said, I'm new to this. Not the whole spiritual aspect of life though. I've always believed in spiritual beings.
I have to admit I don't know much of them. I only know what I've heard growing up. The basic stories of ghosts and monsters. This being because my parents are Buddhists & me being born and growing up in the U.S. However I've never been taught anything about the religion.
Everything I know about religion comes from the stuff taught in public schools, popular beliefs and the obvious mainstream media.
That is until the other night when I discovered the JOS site. Ever since then I've been on that site reading and learning. The information there is overwhelming but it speaks to me in a way that I can feel it being the truth. Most importantly however, is the information on opening the chakras. I've begun the opening of my third eye. Just like it was stated I felt everything I should of had felt at the end of the first exercise. This is the first time in my life anything religion related has actually worked for me. After the first exercise I felt some kind of fulfillment within me. A feeling of happiness and peace. I will continue on reading & opening the rest of my chakras.
Please forgive me for the length of this post. I just felt a need to share this since I cannot share this with anyone else in my personal life without feeling their judgment or resentment.
Now for the main reason of posting this message. I personally feel as if I have found my path. However I have two questions.
First. Before doing the dedication ritual I do plan on opening all of my chakras but I was wondering, if they need to be open at the time of the dedication or if its okay if they are not.
and my second question concerns my family. After I do dedicate. Will my family be safe? I do not wish to put my family in harms way.
Even though they may not believe the same or want to walk the path I have chosen. They are my family.
I apologize ahead of time if I had said anything offensive since I am quite new to this.
