Just got your first Text!

I want to document my experience of your meditations in India.
Friday, March 22: Total exhaustion and relief after an end to the week's events. Pretty sick with some kind of flu.Slept like a rock. Thinking of you a lot and wondering how it is going.

Saturday, March 23: Pretty sick from flu, too sick to go to morning yoga. Spent day indoors, still working, though. Worked on opening my heart to Lola and being as present as possible for her, playing games and hanging out. Joel had a major episode with childhood anger and addictions flaring up. I had some very old fears flare up and scare the crap out of me / collective shadow. Stuff I thought I was completely done with. Just tried to breathe through it and see through the illusion. I had the idea that some of these shadow bubbles pop more easily than others. Some are made out of tire rubber. Importantly, I realized that I developed a fear of going insane when I worked on the psych ward. Seems like such a simple fact but revelatory to me and took me many years to figure out!

Sunday, March 24: Joel was a hot mess after the events of the previous evening. He was suffering all day with it. He went out that night and had addiction flare up, again. Excellent yoga class, then I viewed tire rubber bubbles from previous evening to see what I could do with them. Worked with it for a couple of hours until I heard your voice telling me to drop the story. That worked like a charm. I understood it finally, that I tell myself scary or sad stories. Maybe my amygdala is searching for trouble? They are mostly "what ifs" and related to my fear of insanity. Very elaborate stories in some cases.

Monday, March 25: Persistent image of the car without a chassis made of sticks rolling down a hill. I am on retreat, too, this week. Off with Lola for Spring Break. All rest and nurture. Spoke with a friend who has been going through a lot and making a lot of discoveries and was able to share some insights. Your work is far reaching! Got your text at 1:45p. So wonderful to hear from you! I was just discovering (for the 7000th time) that a relaxed mind is free of all suffering, regardless of the type.
