Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Marianne]

Angel Hero, welcome to the village! It's wonderful to see you here. Your word-pictures make me feel I'm looking over your shoulder.

I am just staring at my clock on my Dell-Windows-7-laptop. It seems that it is 3:39PM where the sun hovers almost above the house I live in. My father comes in a door from the house's backyard. May father lifts up a serious face staring to the direction at this laptop's monitor as he walks closer to the left of me to check what I am doing. My brother randomly hooted the word "fish" in a weird tone to the right of me as he tries his best to focus on his reading. A nervous smile came across my face as I glanced at my dad who stands behind me. I quickly picked up my pace while hearing a Rice Cooker a few feet in front of me in the kitchen and typing this message. I ended this message with a calm relaxation that basked in my face. All of a sudden, a strange aroma rushed in my nose that crinkled from that stench. It is now 3:49 PM.

Hello Angel Hero

I agree with Marianne. Great descriptive post...

As long as I can remember my knees are in a lock position when I'm standing.
Problems with the knees as well, on and off, unable to jog because hurting in the knee's.
Several peoples telling me that the flow of energy in my legs is low during the past 15 years.
Rheumatoid arthritis in the right knee 2 years ago and still recovering from the 8 month inflammation damage.
Further... stretching my legs is the only part of my body where I'm stiff as a board for as long as I can remember.

oh... ok... light bulb moment !!!

It must be the life force energy (Chi) then... that is blocked in my legs.
Sometimes it takes some time to come to a proper conclusion

So I have been doing this Lajin-Paida now for some months, but only the slapping part and not the stretching the legs part.
done that stretching now for 7 days and it feels great.
Never felt better in the legs actually.... but there is something that comes with it that I don't understand.
Ever since I've started ... there is this nervous energy rushing through me. It comes from the stomach area and rises up to the chest, throat, and upwards.
I haven't been able to sleep properly, only restless turning and tossing in the bed.
Reading a book (which used to be my favourite relaxation) is also impossible because of this nervous energy.
When I turn inward and ask what's happening... I feel that it is part of a healing process, but it sure may hurry up now, because I sure would like to have a good night of sleep now!

If you are undoing a blockage that has been there for many years
then surely one week is nothing to let the rest of your body adjust to the new energy flow.
Also, while reading your post the first thing that came to my mind was that really deep slow breaths
might help with the adjustment process and relax you enough to get a good nights sleep.

May every moment of time spent with us enrich your life.

A while back, it was Dan, IIRC who posted this sublime soundtrack song:

yesterday, BTW, I saw the biggest seagull I've ever seen in my life. In seagull terms as compared to humans, it would have been a 9 foot tall human, and properly proportioned. Larger than the average duck and headed toward being as big as a small Canada goose, or a large owl. I should have taken a picture, but I was so startled..and I was in a moving car, passing by.

Not much to report,
been in the garden mostly, working with seeds,
and planning out a garden spiral/ labyrinth

Found a cluster of Raven feathers that i had been asking for a while
Will use them for a talisman. Raven being also associated with the trickster, is
a excellent energy for transforming and transmuting, and fast...

Was meant to be in a skype class earlier today, tried for 30 mins to connect,
and kept dropping off the call, and when i did connect i could only hear and not
be heard. Although ii called another friend in a separate window and all was
working fine. Interestingly enough the subject for the days class was Voodoo, which i had a fair amount of knowledge on already,
i guess someone didn't want me sharing.

IMO and IME, voodoo, is a psychological positioning thing. If it works, use it. Use the lever you can understand.

When you understand that, the need for levers or such things begins to fade away, and one realizes the energetic lies in the self.

Phrasing, it casting it, moving it, shifting it, feeling it, being it, making it happen, that is the trick -the trigger point. The voodoo can help be that. A focal point or focus methodology.

Thus, when clarity is gained on that front the position of voodoo moves to being a different thing.

Yes it works well, and its powerful,
but it's not for young players,
why i was being knocked off the call,
how it was being taught was IMO treating it
like a toy, yikes. Oh well, they will learn anyways,
next weeks check in should be interesting, lol.

The weather has been overwhelmingly searing and humid in the forest.
And the sun particles barreling down and through everything with laser like precision -cold and extremely hot.
Putting me on my ***
All of the trees and plants are starting to wilt a bit
and me with them, for 3 days I have been tense and fatigued.

Gratefully, a thunder storm moved through this afternoon bringing relief for about 20 minutes.

Also, feels like time is slowing down and the earth's energy is moving in the opposite direction.

That's true Ulli,

Someone told me of a breathing exercise (rhythmic .. in through the nose and out through the mouth) to help overcome my anxiety with learning to go Astral which is extremely relaxing and it helps me to fall asleep for the last few days. It helps for an hour or so after I wake up again and start tossing and turning... but it helps!

not to wreck your story Carmody, but that doesn't sound too big to me.
In the Netherlands there are seagulls that have a wing width of 170 cm and a hight of 78 cm (grote mantelmeeuw)



It reminds me of a time that I was in La and visited the beach in Santa Monica.
I was enjoying the first hours of sunshine that day.
Suddenly I felt a big splash of sea water falling on my head, which was odd, because I was 15 yards away from the sea at least.
As I got up I felt something sliding down my forehead and became aware that this was no sea water, but a dropping from the biggest nastiest sea bird that I ever encountered .
As I ran to the water to wash myself and returned to my towel, I saw all the people looking and me and laughing there ass of.
I wasn't the only one who noticed...

Whiskey, ask him if he is the real Bill Murray,
or the hologram Bill Murray...

Big seagull, maybe an Albatross??

They look very much the same, only much much bigger





I used to see them rarely when i lived by the sea, the beak is the way you can pick them,
and of course the size

No matter what method one uses, everything and anything goes.
The most important thing is to be sincere, trustworthy, and in every way have the purest of motives.
Life is about the acquisition of these virtues.
