Dream | I was in an apartment | that was burgled.

In the brief time I slept last night, I did dream some.

2nd session went well last night. Tremor stopped when I entered the offices and was quiet throughout the session. Stayed quiet for a few hours and then returned. Then, felt wired and couldn't fall asleep.

But awoke feeling OK. Tremor still lurking about, but relatively it's quieter. Took 2 capsules of herbal anti-stress capsules this morning. Will take the 3rd one soon. It appears to be the case that my anxiety and feelings of stress are magnifying the symptoms (Duh! Guess what?)

So I need to r-e-l-a-x more, move around more, think more good thoughts, enjoy my meals, and let go--more! M&E will be going north tonight so I'll be alone--good chance to be still and quiet and process through any stresses and anxiety.

Some neighbors will shuttle me back and forth tomorrow. So I can relax! Have two sessions nearly back-to-back tomorrow. Am interested in what that will be like. Four hours on the table with someone holding my leg or foot!

Yesterday, I spent a long time just going over line dance steps (that I could remember). I could imagine the music and feel the flow of the dance. Movement, movement and physical activity quietens the symptoms. To me, the symptoms seem to feel like what a person on drug withdrawal must feel like (and in a sense I am withdrawing from adrenaline--or running out). It's like pain with no location, an itch that can't be scratched. I've had a lot of focus on the symptoms--dealing with them--instead of looking at what's magnifying them. The "normal" symptoms can be tolerated--it's these hyper ones that have pulled on my attention. Anyway, I seem to be able to distinguish the two and can "rest" when not in hyper mode, and can do something when I am (move, dance, think good thoughts, etc.).

I'm feeling like the intensity of the symptoms was just an artifact and not what I'd experienced if I were not so anxious.

So, 2nd session went well. He worked mostly with the left leg/foot. Had a lot of sensations as Chris worked--heat, coolness, tingling, toes wanting to move (dance), mild pain and aching, twitches, shudders, twinges, thumping, and more.

Will send out a broadcast report after tomorrow's sessions (probably send it out on Sat.--perhaps a yoga class day). Healing Love to all!
