Week 17 Day 7

Week 17 Day 7

Medi object choiceless awareness
Intention: noting noting and more noting!

Afternoon all! Today I did 3 15 min practices one after the other. The first and last 15 mins were noting, the middle was contracting on the breath.

Epic failure yesterday, I completely forgot that I had an evening appointment but at least it was a team event so it wasn't that bad besides the fact that my team decided to name their team Where's Liz so that means that 100 people know that I didn't turn up instead of just 5.

Today I was weary but I started noting vocalising then stopped doing that after a few minutes. The ringing in my ears was particularly loud today and often remains for a while after practice. Breathing was long but seemed harsh, I watched some lights flash I front of my eyes. I felt my hands melded to my knees and the warmth of my body...in fact it was too warm, I had to take my fleece off the last 15 mins.

The breathing third was interesting and actually quite difficult, I looked at the clock once and then had to refocus myself a few times to listen to different parts of the breath. But I made it.

The last noting session was a bit dozy to start off with but after I took off my fleece I remained alert. I had a mega itch in my ear which I did tend to and the guess what, it came back so I just bore it...observed it grow and fade. My neighbours were active upstairs, and I could hear my PC hard drive whirring next to me. It seems that the weather has become damper, I can feel it in the air.....

I'm  at home this weekend hoping to catch up of the continual decluttering of my flat. I have packed up some clothes and shoes and as soon as I receive a delivery I will be heading out to the charity shop...more stuff gone!

Have a great Saturday!
