113 Guru Bhakti, PTSD, Teacher Attachment - Live Session

In this live session we start with Guru Bhakti. Devotion to the guru as a method of awakening. We talk about what to do when you are attached to your teacher. We discuss with someone with PTSD who is no longer traumatized by it yet still affected by it ways to heal and release that PTSD. We also discussed that psychotherapy can help.

Hi William, I realized there were a few podcasts I missed because I had downloaded them to listen too on a flight but never got to them. It's interesting b/c it's on gurus and this is an area I've currently been exploring after reading many of the recommended books you suggested in another podcast. Divine timing of course!
In this session a listener and you briefly discuss Michael Bernard Beckwith. When I've listened to your other podcasts about gurus and their energy I have often been reminded of Michael. I met him about 15 years ago at a Peace rally in D.C. I have always remembered the moment he walked in the room, it was like he shined. I had no frame of reference but recalled that it felt like light coming off of him. We had a mutual friend so I had an opportunity to speak with him and receive a hug from him. But I never forgot watching him walk in the room b/c of that light.
Also, another thing on this podcast I identified with was that my first entre to meditation was also TM back in 1996. It was a great place to begin, although my own practice now incorporates other modalities, but since listening to your podcasts these last several months I have been exclusively sitting in silence and allowing things to dissolve. It's been tough and rewarding all at once.
Thanks again for this series.
