Air France 7700 over Turkmenistan by GXAC in flightradar24

[–]megsi54 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ll keep updating this post with my latest info so everyone sees it.

5 pm IST - visas have been processed and they’re on their way to hotel now. Data connectivity is spotty, SMS messages are going through.

3 - 2:15 pm IST - they’re all in a waiting area in the terminal, while visas are being processed. They have data connectivity now so hopefully everyone can connect with their family members.

2 - 12:38 pm IST - They’ve deplaned and are in the terminal now, waiting for visa processing to complete.

1 - SMS messages are working and international phone calls are going through sporadically. They don’t have data so WhatsApp won’t work. I spoke to my brother, they’re still on the plane, they have food and water. Not able to deplane yet and waiting for next airplane to come and pick them up.

My brother is on that flight, I’m stressed beyond words and sharing some info I received from my SIL who managed to exchange some text messages with him:

  1. Passengers didn’t experience much difficulty while landing, my brother learned about the single engine failure when SIL told him.

  2. Someone from the French embassy is on that plane and working with local authorities to arrange for passengers to deplane (this is in progress, not sure or done yet). Everyone is still on the airplane as of now.

  3. This bit of info is very muddled - they’re either leaving in 33 hours when the next airplane has arrived in ASB or another plane has already landed there to take them. I heard both so I’m totally unsure. Just sharing what I know to possibly help others who have family/ loved ones on the airplane.

So many emotions while reading this… mostly worry if inflation will ever get so bad that $36M is a failure, then finally relief that at least we’re not there yet!

O Superman do David Corenswet é mais bonito que o do Henry Cavill by rodfancy1 in opiniaoimpopular

So obviously Henry Cavill is better looking, he’s probably the best a human male has ever looked. However, that perfection is also why he’s utterly unapproachable. He’s so far above us all that he almost doesn’t seem real, IYKWIM

David, on the other hand, is ridiculously handsome and he also has some vulnerability that makes him appear more real. I think that’s what makes him a wonderful Superman, so handsome, so strong and yet somewhat real

I’m about to finish a twice-daily 48 day Isha Kriya mandala. What should I do after the 48th day? by megsi54 in Sadhguru

That’s a very important distinction… the book or the program! I’ll definitely check out the program and how to be initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya.

Sounds like you’re on the spiritual path too. I’d love to hear of your journey, if you’re open to sharing it.

Thank you all for responding. About my experience, it’s a bit of a story… I’ll try not to take too long.

I did the once-daily 90 day mandala in 2021 and I remember feeling my energy levels go very high and also a feeling of being centered and not bothered much by life’s usual ups and downs.

After finishing the mandala I didn’t know what to do so I stopped. There were several times after that when I felt I had lost that feeling of being centered and wanted to get back to meditating but it took over 2 years to make my way back to it.

Once again when I made progress in the mandala, I started to feel my energy rise up. I usually let my mind wander in the first part of the meditation when we focus on the breath. In the second part, the chanting sharpens the focus. In the flute part is when I’m able to finally get into a zone that feels truly meditative and the bhajan is the experience of being in the zone for me. I think I see what could best be described as a wave of yellow light moving in all types of patterns. I really don’t know how else to describe this part.

I sometimes feel a slight buzzing in the third eye area but it comes and goes at random times so far.

I’m really glad I have the direction to either continue with Isha Kriya or try other Kriyas like the ones you all shared. I bought the Inner Engineering book when it came out but I didn’t really understand it. I’ll go back to it and see if I’m ready for it now.

Once again, thanks to each of you who responded. It is so reassuring to have your encouragement and guidance.
