5955

Slept last night. Perhaps not all that sound of a sleep, but a sleep none the less. Was able to lie flat on my back, for a change. I've been making these cushions with my pillows in order to get into a comfortable position.

Went to chiropractor this morning. He helped loosen some kinks I've developed in my lower back--nothing major, just some tensions and stiffness. Beautiful morning! Sunny day until this afternoon when the rain began to fall.

Worked with Janice today.

Imagine someone holding my foot/leg, giving a detailed dissertation on the Lord's Prayer, me breathing and moving energies around in my body, she inserting two acupuncture needles to check for an energy flow through those two points, and so on. In the end, I could freely and smoothly move my feet in circles without a lot of cogwheeling effects. Whatever works!

It keeps coming back to something really simple--my attitude. Be it joyful, open, focused, reverent then all the dark stuff is replaced with light and movement. Can it be that simple? Seems so! The trick, and there is one, is that it has to be that way 24/7. No breaks, no timeouts! No real alternative.

She coached me today in listening to my body, noting what is trying to avoid, and going there in extreme. If the foot wants to twist, let it--help it, accentuate it! Then let it return to where it wants to settle. Helps to see what it looks like if it were perfect--as a model. Was able to use my left foot after it had moved about and settled to help the right foot to know what it wanted to do. Whatever works!

So, feeling somewhat tired tonight--like I did a lot of physical work, which is not the case. But like in the War of Art, I seem to be making too many typos so time to stop. Adieu!
