November and December were very full and eventful months and it was good to go away for some time and change the environment and type of stimulae. However, my visit home was almost too intensive, I came tired with great need of personal space.
So, my last few days were about having some rest from other people, catching up with job responsibilities and looking after myself in general. I.e. Morning Exercise, AT lie-downs and breathing procedures.
As far as Effortless Living material is concerned. My sense now is that I need to work on these procedures without the help of recordings, and instead focus on developing the capacity to use my attention to engage in this work. I'm going to begin this work tomorrow, gently.
I was positively surprised how often I noticed my breathing suspended or getting shallow when involved in my work at the laptop today. It was good that these acts of noticing didn't interfere that much with the process of breathing. However, it'd be useful to pause after such moments of insight - something to look at in the future... no, actually ... I just began now. I just noticed the breath again...
Today was a day of several new beginnings, including guitar work. About 10 minutes into the practice I realized that there are eyes I'm looking through, the vision expended, the room became alive. A short moment of awe at being alive.
