&lt;p&gt;      Welcome I think. I haven&amp;#39;t been here long either but it&amp;#39;s a great place I&amp;#39;ve found. And BIG! Your into martial arts? Lately I&amp;#39;ve wanted to try jutjitsu. I&amp;#39;m in Kojosho Kempo Karate right now.&amp;nbsp; And have been getting back into the spiritual stuff lately.&amp;nbsp; Maybe I&amp;#39;ve done some meditation or maybe not I haven&amp;#39;t really studied it.&amp;nbsp; Anyway You&amp;#39;ll probably like this site. I&amp;#39;ve come to love it and the people here. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Have fun exploring Naomi&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Welcome to Gaia! I remember being in the same overwhelm place when I first came to the&amp;nbsp; Gaia community as well. Others who have commented here in the lounge are also new, so I am going to share this tip as an excellant way of allowing us to connect with each other&amp;#39;s work and other work we want to use as a way to expand our postings and comments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;&lt;strong style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px"&gt;First,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;the blue writing tells a reader that it is most likely a hyperlink. This is confirmed when you move your mouse over the blue letters and the arrow turns into a little hand - which is the sign that you can click on these words and link to more information.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;&lt;strong style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px"&gt;Second,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;here is the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px" href="http://support.gaia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Gaia help link&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that tells how to do this at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px" href="http://support.gaia.com/faq#faq08" target="_blank"&gt;http://support.gaia.com/faq#faq08&lt;/a&gt;. The Gaia&amp;nbsp;&lt;a style="color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px" href="http://support.gaia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Help&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;button is on the top right hand side next to the &amp;ldquo;log in or out&amp;rdquo; button. I like to create my hyperlinks in a &amp;ldquo;new window&amp;rdquo; so the reader does not loose where they were while in the middle of reading a blog or comment. &amp;nbsp;I push &amp;quot;control&amp;quot; new window and keep the other pages open while checking out other&amp;#39;s blue hyperlinks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Third,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The most creative, masterful and skilled users on my gaia network are inviting the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://team.gaia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Gaia Team&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to your friends and our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://coolmel.gaia.com/" target="_blank"&gt;world&amp;#39;s best hyperlinker&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;read their blogs and you will find some of interest to you. &amp;nbsp; Take 45 minutes and follow some of the prompts and things will become familiar to you. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;To gain expansion join&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.gaia.com/pro" target="_blank"&gt;Gaia Pro&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pods.gaia.com/ambassadorsgaia" target="_blank"&gt;Gaia Ambassadors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px" /&gt;I hope this helps and makes your experience as part of the Gaia community that much more enjoyable!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Anyone can feel free to copy/paste this and pass it forward as it helped me and worked so the adventures on Gaia is always sharing abundantly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Hello, everyone.&amp;nbsp; I have had a terrible last semester, so many changes in my life, hard classes, breakup with a long-term girlfriend, and i was wound up like a kitestring.&amp;nbsp; a kitestring that is not currently being used to fly a kite.&amp;nbsp; I had started looking for relaxation techniques, and have always been interested in meditation.&amp;nbsp; this journey had refreshed my interest in personal developement and&amp;nbsp;spiritual knowledge&amp;nbsp;seeking, and thus i found Gaia.&amp;nbsp; i just signed up yesterday and I really like what i see so far.&amp;nbsp; it seems to be a very positive environment that everyone has established, and that is very useful, i believe, for developing a positive attitude and experiencing positive energy.&amp;nbsp; I hope that i can help to give back what others have done for me, and i hope that i can learn to reach further heights in the areas i am studying.&amp;nbsp; I am looking for teachers, coaches, friends, and maybe even family.&amp;nbsp; I am a martial artist(Jujitsu mainly) and a college student.&amp;nbsp; I am very open-minded and i always enjoy meeting new people.&amp;nbsp; this place is very big and confusing, and i find it hard to find my way around.&amp;nbsp; I hope to learn a lot from this place.&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/p&gt;
