Sense of wonder

I had a before bed lie-down yesterday. A second, smaller wave of sickness came my way, and I couldn't really manage my attention and engage in the procedure. After 15 minutes I moved my legs from the floor, to bed and very quickly fell asleep.

And this morning I had a 10 minutes lie-down before the day, as advised, and again, I fell asleep. Still, I think it was useful.

After I came back from the busy day of supply work at the school, I had a moment of a deep release and relaxtation. With each breath the tensions of the day would go, it was in the momement. Each release would bring up some memory of the event in the day, probably assosiated with the particular tensions. I watched these thoughts & emotions impartially. The process left me with the sense of wonder.

Have a long lie-down before bed today. I'm aiming to extend them to one hour, but today begin with 40 minutes. This is quite a journey, there's time to look at things more in depth. At the end one layer of tension I haven't been aware of gets revealed: on my throat and upper chest. It's like a thin coat of tension.
