Managed to snag one of the more recent Qigong books that just got returned to the library. Thank goodness for the online library catalog system--let me know the book had been returned and that it was on the recently returned shelf. Cool!

Been reading into the book. Well written (The Healing Promise of Qi by Jahnke) and looks to be a good introduction to the subject. Written to be read and used, or so it seems.

Had lunch with LS. She got the job. Good for her. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Movies and databases--great combination. Ate at the cafe at the airport--really good food. Will have to visit there again.

Dreams last night about being in a small rental unit with my two sons. There was a whole scene devoted to putting the truck in the garage. Some rationale regarding where it should be parked so that it was protected from others who parked there.

There was also some scenes that dealt with the two sons--why they were there and what needed to be done to take care of them in that place. They kept running outside and going down the street to play and explore. I was going nuts trying to keep them corralled.

Dream scenes were dark and dirty. Everything was happening at night and there was this pall of darkness over what was being played out.

H left me a note this morning pointing out the blossoms that were there to welcome me to the morning. A set of cactus plants are in bloom. They have multiple blossoms that are brightly colored. They are spectacular. Makes for excellent Qi. As the weather warms, I plan on shifting my Qigong practice outdoors. Will be much better than practicing in this tiny room.

Practice went well last night and this morning. Feeling the Qi. Noticing some subtle energy shifts. Feel like I'm on the exact right track now. Look forward to moving onward with the exercises and learning more about how it all works.

My sons' birthdays are upon me. Have to get a couple of cards and send them notes. It's been a while since we've communicated. Sad state of affairs.

Didn't make it to the lecture last night. Had some ice cream instead (Hagen Das, Belgian chocolate chocolate--yes two of them). Came back and read some more, did Qigong, and slept deeply except for dreams.

Will meet L soon for a light dinner and then perhaps kirtan. Body, Breath and Mind--keys to the elixir. May the chants bring joy and peace to everyone. Jai, Jai, Jai.
