I’ve been so busy this week, I haven’t had time to work with my animal totems. Like Hawk, Moose appeared for me again to confirm our relationship. Being busy is good, but I miss my spiritual work. It’s like being newly in love. I want to spend all my spare time exploring my spirit, and I feel frustrated when I can’t. I’m full of the kind of happy energy that makes me want to twirl.
I think I may return to my yoga class next week. I’ve been considering it for a while now, and I pretty much talked myself into it last week. Not only did I enjoy my yoga sessions, but I felt like I had a spiritual connection with someone there. I also think forcing myself to get out and socialize with people would be very beneficial to me. I tend to be a bit antisocial and it’s very easy for me to isolate myself, but I get a little lonely.
Several months ago, I started using a program called Pzizz to help me sleep. I use it for both naps and regular sleeping. I love it. This week, I decided to try listening to music combined with subliminal messages to enhance my creativity and to help me work longer. I’ve had success with both.
I ordered some pillows (zafu and zabuton) to help me meditate more comfortably. I’d also like to set up a dedicated meditation spot in my office. Right now, I have a small space on my desk, but it’s not quite right. Ideally, I’d like to get something resembling a low tv stand with storage for my pillows.
Reading different theories about sleep requirements has me entertaining the idea of sleeping on the floor. I tried it for my 20 minute nap today, and I can see how it could eventually be a good thing. I think I may try taking my naps on the floor to see if I can get used to it before trying to sleep a full night on the floor. I worry more about getting cold than I do about the hardness of the floor.
