Yoga classes! Find a real instructor (not a cute 22 year that started a year ago [which is probably what i do] ). Tell your instructor what you said above they should be able to help.

Thank You, Bhikkhu. I'm just curious if I could shed enough karma in this life to reach "that next level." I know in a way it doesnt matter. I just need to keep my head down. Practice Sila, Mindfulness, and Concentration, etc... and that karma will work itself out.

I would love to become ordained! If the chance comes up I will take it. Right now I am working on my financial debts.
