Dreamless in the night. Or the dreams disappeared when I awoke. Can't recall any details or dream fragments. Previous night's dreams may have been enough. They were very surreal.

Dance class went well last night. Learned a new dance that had fairly intricate steps and rhythms. Will see if I can remember how it goes tonight. Skipped yoga today. Felt like sleeping in and my knee, hip, back is still acting up. Didn't want to go to yoga class and torque everything further. Did Qigong session instead when I finally awoke.

Went out and grabbed some lunch (it was too late for breakfast) and a piece of carrot cake. Feel sated for now, but will probably need to eat again before dancing starts. Like I said yesterday, I feel like I have to eat regularly--can't skip a meal or it shows up in my stamina. I get unfocused and sleepy.

Responded to the Dragon's notes about various projects. The Mars project looks interesting. Have to ponder the history of games idea--not sure I want to do anything like that--but leaving it open for now.

Almost halfway through August. In recent days, time has begun to speed up relative to the early days of the week. Finishing up the Cuban stories (they're OK, but not as good as Munro's tales). They're a bit too random for my tastes, with some being very "modern" (no punctuation, huge run-on narrative sections, written with a thesaurus, etc.).

Of more interest has been the Power Healing book by Dr. Sha. Some intriguing ideas therein. Will see how they manifest in terms of healing and health. First practices are really simple and easy to perform. Will experiment and see what happens. Can't lose.

I'm still not fully energized or fully active. Such regular tasks such as shaving, bathing, and so on seem to take much more time than I think I used to require. But, I have nothing pressing me forward, shaking me out of bed, etc. So I can take as long as it takes. Which seems like a long time.

My bio-clock seems to have shifted so that I arise later than I once did, but stay up later as well. In fact, it's not until evening that I feel fully awake and in motion. It's like my clock has flip-flopped.

Looking into getting a diagnosis from and ayurvedic or homeopathic physician. Like getting a second opinion on the medical doctor's random assessments. I need to restore my energy levels in a balanced way--right now they are not operating smoothly and evenly.

Things are looking better given all of the interventions I'm doing and with me not working--but there has to be a higher level of functioning than where I am now. Where I am does not leave me enough energy space for doing what's next--writing, research, work, etc.

Following the Power Healing format, I need to invoke the soul that's in charge of energy, ask for its help in restoring my energy levels, and thanking this soul (and all of its attendant beings) for such healing help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
