I started meditating recently with the spring 21 day meditation challenge, I started late so I bought it, probably the best thing I have spent money on in a while, thank you and everyone else who contributed to those great meditations, they have really helped me.
I’ve shared them with a friend too and I hope they can help him like they have helped me.

Anyways my question. I cry when I meditate sometimes, why? Uncovering old constrictions and emotions? I can feel that some constrictions have lifted, but also at times I can feel them lingering in the background, and it seems that since the recent constrictions have lifted (being able to leave a draining relationship after being sucked back into it a few times), I’ve gone back, so to say, to past constrictions, namely being nervous in some social situations, more specifically getting nervous when talking to the person I would perhaps like to date. It’s almost as if after I have lifted the more recent toxin, an old one has emerged again. I’ve read your chapter on discovering true self esteem in the 7 keys to happiness and enlightenment and I would like greatly to achieve that state of self-fulfillment and awareness, and I ask myself what am I so scared of in those situations, why do i get to nervous that I freeze? Am I pushing myself too far too fast and expecting too much of myself?
Should I just straight go for it? I don’t want to force it to happen, because that doesn’t work. I tell myself I will plunge ahead but then I freeze almost every time. I would like to let the love and creativity flow but something seems to stop me every time I get to that one point. I’ve listened to the one podcast where David ji talks about choosing one or two things in your life you would like to advance and nurture more, and relationships rings loudly in my heart and soul. I would like to have a good nurturing relationship, I can tell it is what my heart wants. Do you have any advice? Thank you.

I have just recently finished reading your book “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success“. I found it amazing and could not put it down till I reached the last page. I am very keen to put into practice the seven laws of success and as suggested by you, in the initial stages, one law for each day of the week till all the 7 laws become an inalienable and inseparable part of me. However, I have one difficulty with the law for Saturday. I don’t know what my unique talent is. I have finished my Ph.D. but of late have lost interest in my job, science, research – everything in short. So this puts me in a dilemma – how can I discover what my unique talent is which I can put to use to serve humanity. I am very anxious to hear about how I can discover this talent in myself. I truly want to change myself and find happiness, peace within myself, success and plenty.

I´m reading your book about love- The Path to Love. I´m looking for a real love in my life, and my question is exactly about that: how to recognize “the one”; I mean, at this moment I can see many relationships are based on anything and far from real love. There are so many relationships where people just talk and think but they don´t really feel. It seems people approach love like they do fast food. I´m trying hard to find somebody who wants to live the love the way you describe in your book. My soul cries reading your words and looking at the reality around me…and I believe that one day I will find somebody who wants these things too, but I ask myself: how can I recognize this man and stop this circle of hurt and disappointment?

Though I am highly spiritual, I am finding great difficulty freeing myself emotionally from my mother with whom I have a very toxic relationship. I understand this concept intellectually but struggling with it on an emotional level. It is partly cultural, partly guilt in thinking (as was heavily instilled in me) that I am responsible for my mother’s wellbeing, at the cost of my own.
It is only when I was able to distance myself from my family members/unit that I was able to regain myself and ‘rebuild’ a healthy and happy self, and live from my values and spirituality.
And yet I am now at a cross road where I must make a clear decision or I will always be attached negatively to a false notion that is blocking me and pulling me down. I know there is no possible healthy rapport with my mother going forward, and yet the thought of cutting her out of my life seems difficult. It sounds like a contradiction; if this were an acquaintance, I would separate immediately.

How do people who aren’t close to their families begin to create healthy boundaries in order to free themselves from guilt and suffering?

If soul is collection of desires, memories, and concepts, then what about the cellular memories throughout the body. Since soul is not a physical/material thing then how does it retain information. Is the information retained in the soul different from the whole evolutionary information retained in the DNA of each cell?
