3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

With Son wisely deciding to sleep over in Manchester, an extra bonus morning frolic will ensue to set me up for a busy day with clients, where I will be able to put all my new investments into action. At the back of my mind I am still digesting the bombshell that Son wants to get married in Minsk in January! Some considerable discussion will need to ensue on that issue.

Something of a breakthrough has occurred in my spiritual life that is kinda hard to describe, but put simply, I've learned how to channel energy round my body by shifting focus. By simply "feeling" the energy flow it prevents any blockages. Focusing on something diverts energy to deal with that particular subject.

What I need to learn is to be able to keep the flow of energy at its healthiest on a continual basis. I have observed that fatigue in particular triggers negative memories and chains of thought. I need to learn how to remain positively-focused when weary. I think this is mainly practice.

I was as cynical as anyone about the whole notion of "subtle energy" and "lifeforce" until I encountered Reiki. Feeling is believing! When I was attuned to master level, the feeling was utterly indescribable! I have nothing to compare it to. I subsequently took my focus off it as I concentrated more on mind-management and nutrition, but now I'm beginning to grasp how all these separate threads work together. It's an exciting time of self-discovery!

8. TRIVIA

During the past 400 years, nearly a quarter of a million people have been killed as a direct result of volcanic eruptions. Indirect aftereffects such as famine, climate change, and disease most likely have tripled that number.

9. ZEN WISDOM

There is no true joy in a life lived closed up in the little shell of the self. When you take one step to reach out to people, when you meet with others and share their thoughts and sufferings, infinite compassion and wisdom well up within your heart. Your life is transformed.
