Happy day, today! Restful, peaceful and quiet. The best day I've had since I've been here (and better than many prior to getting here). Ate well (thanx to L who came by with frittata and fruit salad plus a feast that M prepared tonight), went for a walk, went to a coffee house and had a white hot chocolate, did some yoga, rested, listened to kirtans, was virtually symptom-free and anxiety free (stopped taking the supplements), slept well last night, and more and more...

Have 4 sessions scheduled this coming week. From where I am tonight, I'm looking forward to doing them and having them increase the progression experienced in the past week. And may that be so!

I feel that I'm beginning to deal with the real issue--rebellious Qi--versus my mind-thoughts, anxieties, and concerns. Beginning to put attention where it needs to be rather than on the next mind-chatter item that emerges. The rebellious Qi is enough to be concerned with and doesn't need a lot of incidental sidetracks...

Got a host of wonderful, supportive notes from people on the F&F list who got my last update. Also got a card from the dance community. It's sitting on my table so I can look up and see it to remind me of all the great people in my life. Thanx to P for making the card happen.

As I said, I slept really well last night. M set up the front room with a fire, some candles, some music and let me sit in that space until I was ready to go to bed. After an hour or so, I went to my room, put on the chants CD, listened for a while, then dropped off and slept well.

Yesterday and today spent some time practicing the visualizations. I'm noticing more and more blockages and areas of unawareness that I encounter when I scan my body during rest periods. Plenty to work with and plenty to release.

Tomorrow's session will be with Chris. Looking forward to it!
