The quieter you become, the more you can hear (Ram Dass)


I took some time with the breath last night and at one point I couldn't stop crying. There seems to be a lot of pain to be released from deep within me. I felt better for it and had a long long sleep last night. I came to the conclusion that there are certain people who are not good for me and it's best to relaease them from my life. It might be fun in the short run but the heart ache is a little too much to bear at times.
I'm reading a book by David Fontana about meditation and how to learn it. There are some great excercise. One of my current favourites is to imagin that your mind is the trunk of a tree and the branches are all the thoughts. The positive ones or the ones you want are beautiful and a rich green whereas the negative thoughts are grey and withering and you can visualise yourself pruning them off.
I have to go to work soon. Quite a late shift till 11 tonight but I enjoy my job and am going to have a focus today on how I react to positive and negative emotions that people may install i me.
