3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Holiday-at home continues! A wonderful slob-day was thoroughly enjoyable and it was good to see Son slowly recovering, and consequently becoming less grouchy. I'm generally having a marvellous time of self-indulgence! This I plan to continue through to Sunday 5th August, after which I will be ready to see clients again and generally take the Practice forward.

I am exploring ways in which I can diversify, and also exert greater influence. I have already learned much about influencing others, but I need greater focus in order to maximise that potential. Context is highly significant in the power of words, which is not under my direct control, but I can certainly look out for opportune contexts and continue to refine my understanding of what gets right into the subconscious of people. I will enjoy playing and tinkering with ideas and seeing the reaction I get from others.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Following your intuition will raise you above the suffering of mankind. Following primal instinct will reduce you to the status of the animals.
