Quick brain dump on Tuesday morning before call w/ Roger

  • How yesterday went
  • Did 2 x 1 hour somatic connection open awareness sits
  • 1st one, noticed some stuff, was good, but maybe felt fairly subtle and therefore attention drifted
  • 2nd one, somatic sensations felt much more present → triggered w/ grumpiness, felt much easier to stay with
  • Quite triggered at points throughout the day, mostly around feeling rushed, short on time, story that all I do is work & do housework → good to enter the second sit at 21:30 with this energy and investigate it
  • Definitely heightened ability to see this stuff happening live and not take it as seriously
  • Ability to see annoyed thought + associated sensations, then to have the thought drop away when I become mindful, then realise that I’m still holding the sensations in place (like a grumpy look on my face), and realising that I can drop it
  • Also had a 10 minute call with Wystan where we said “but who are you really??” and giggled at me when I didn’t get it 🙄
