Hello. I'm obviously new here with this being my first post :)

I have been practicing mental photography and was wondering if I might test my retention here? I wanted to ask before I began participating in any conversations and possibly type a bunch of jiberish :lol

Thanks,
JD

Peace,
John-Derek

I too am a quick reader, but I have never heard of mental photography. Do you have a definition? I am very interested. Also, I like your signature. I teach a class called The Yogic Life that combines mind, body, and spirit with yoga.
I also help others open their chakras. O.k., now I have said way too much::54

please explain chakras, I looked up the word and the dictionary said that it was a term meant to represent spirits named after the Hindu gods.

Is this how you use the term?
