The Power of Now<\/em><\/a>, \u201cAs long as I am my mind, I am those cravings, those needs, wants, attachments, and aversions, and apart from them there is no \u2018I\u2019 except as a mere possibility, an unfulfilled potential, a seed that has not yet sprouted.\u201d<\/p>\nMy own mind used to go around in so many circles that I rarely, if ever, felt capable of making a right decision. Not only that, but once I\u2019d made the decision, I was always sure it was the wrong one. In the instance of my sneezing indicator, when it shows up, I immediately cop to the fact that it\u2019s associated with having been \u201cout in public,\u201d in the airport, maybe, on a plane, or on a first date. While it wouldn\u2019t be accurate to say I am miserably uncomfortable in those circumstances since I\u2019ve gotten so used to reeling in my good ol\u2019 psychic octopus, it\u2019s usually after the fact, once I get home, that the sneezing begins. What is my sneezing an indicator of? The fact that I am processing whatever leftover resistance I was experiencing during whatever it was I was experiencing!<\/p>\n
I was on the plane without an issue. I got all the way to baggage claim before the sneezing kicked in. Relief, once again, at feeling I was back on my home turf.<\/p>\n
The date was uncomfortable. I felt in alignment during the date, but relieved to leave, I immediately began to sneeze.<\/p>\n
These episodes used to last days, if not longer, and be neatly, conveniently categorized, as \u201csome kind of bug that requires attention\u2026medicine\u2026a doctor\u2026concern\u2026worry\u2026etc. Now? Rarely longer than a few hours at most.<\/p>\n
If you were in my head, here\u2019s what you\u2019d be hearing. \u201cOh. I\u2019m shifting. I\u2019m having one of my shifts. Isn\u2019t this interesting? I don\u2019t particularly like this one because my nose gets so sore, but I know it\u2019ll be over soon because all I\u2019m doing is reacting to the effort I made to handle my recent experience. I know that as it gets easier and easier to be in alignment, with my octopus tentacles snuggled in close, this kind of thing is happening less and less often. I\u2019m really looking forward to the time when it stops happening altogether. Yay for me!\u201d<\/p>\n
