Intention - Metta practice and then noting raw sensations
Afternoon
all, today I decided to practice metta before noting. I used a few of
Sharon Salzberg's affirmations but as Maxine previously said, hoping
that they will eventually produce a sensation of loving kindness. I did
read some of her book on the tube - will commit to reading some more.
Noting
was a hot sweltering affair, I did half of it standing. Everyone was
looking a bit wilted. I pity the men in their long sleeved shirts.
Wasn't too hot in the first train but almost unbearable in the 2nd.
Besides the oppressive heat, I was grateful for the occasional breeze
when we were at station platforms. I was also grateful for the women
using her hand fan next to me. Result! The tube seemed a bit more jolty
today, maybe the tracks were a bit more bendy? Although I had left the
house earlier (resulting in standing required on the 2nd train) I was
not more weary as I had gone to bed an hour earlier (gadzooks!). Wilty
feelings and planning thought rummaged through my practice. Now I am in
the icy air conditioning of the office! Very nice.
Hope you are all having an ice, I mean, nice day!
