I went back to my meditation spot yesterday to confront the fears coming up and had a great time without incident. My knees have finally dropped to the earth, first time evah... after sitting, stretching, breathing and focusing on all the energy going to earth to ground. YAY! It's soo cute, there are these really sweet dogs, which get mistreated along with most dogs and cats:( that I meet daily to go meditate. They are fairly clean as far as that goes here;) they have no open wounds and just fleas. But I have to have strong boundaries with them, I will pet and play with them when i'm not sitting on my mat, cuz I don't want fleas in it. So I have to give them an aggressive little grunt and point for them to stay. The brother of the two twists and wiggles his body and cries a little cuz he wants to play and be loved, but he eventually sits and then lays down as close to me as I will let him. His sister gets it and lays down directly. When I finish my sit, then I play with them. I love em. My aryuvedic meds and diet seem to be doing me good, the wound on my chest is sealed and seems to be healing and shrinking, gah finally no more bandages. I only have an hour daily for internet,which goes by soo fast:( more tomorrow. Love and light to you my friends!
