A question came to mind with regard to feedback loops following another exchange on this site. Recently, I went to a weekend yoga of sound retreat. We were guided by a well known yogi and kirtanist (not a word??), anyway...the experience I find in most of these settings is that the energy builds so much that I can't sleep all night and then feel wiped out for days. Not everyone feels this way and I wonder if this has to do with losing sight of my own energy in this and totally absorbing the energy that is being built or seemingly pushed out by the one "hosting". It would seem this is like receiving bolts of voltage that are not "for me" and just spin me up like a top and then I totally feeled drained. Reading this article, it seems it makes sense to pay attention to what I am taking on board and where I am losing connection to my own energy. The question arises of why I would take this on in the first place - and I see a sense of perceived need to get something...knowing more and more that being at home inside with no need to take someone else's energy really helps to drop any incentive to have this lift and drop experience.

Thanks!
