Week 25 Day 3

Medi object choiceless
Intention to remain alert and receive all sensations

Noting was 25 mind on the tube. First sensation a tube fart!   ARRRGH!  I was breathing in quite deeply at the time and focus shot to that. I opened my eyes briefly  but the sensation passed as quickly as it arose so either it was controlled or not from the bump in front of my nose!

With choiceless awareness there are many sounds that dominate for several seconds. Announcements , door warnings,  door alarms. As they came into being I listened to them all. The soft husky voice of the station announcer.  The iconic Mind The Gap announcements on the station platforms.

I was travelling towards Covent Garden today so I didn't have to change. As we moved underground I felt a sensation of cool breeze enveloping me.

As I had plenty of time till my meeting I disembarked from the train and watched my fellow passengers rush off to the exit. As I ambled down the platform I noted how different the environment was without the hustle and bustle of the travellers.

I'm in Starbucks eating breakfast and I sneezed and the man next to me flinched as though I had sneezed all over him! I did have a tissue over my nose...the man has been brushing himself ever since, a few crumbs may have blown off my plate 😀...it's very breezy outside...and a gust of wind comes through the door every time it is opened.

As I walked passed what was the tube entrance (closed for a few months) I saw a quote on a board which was food for thought. 

Have a great day and practice!
