@Terry – If you’ve anything in particular that’s not clear or you want to ask, please do – either here or by email.

@Sari – It’s taken a while to learn what works for me, which is so frustrating, but at least I can see a clear progress now in how it’s developing for me.

@Anna-Liza – I haven’t used intentions until this one time, really. Nothing spoke to me so I just had a general approach of openness to learning from what comes up. It’s worked fine for me, so I’m sure you’ll be ok! I certainly started to hear the little voice in my head that tells me off so much more when I first started, so I can relate to your sense of growing awareness.

Not pulling sounds like a good strategy too, curiosity and acceptance seem like a good place to come at it from.

As for journaling, even just a little may make all the difference, though life will get in the way. Mindfulness in general however is a great tool that you can use all the time, and can only help with the learning process.

As I'm only just starting with Shiva Nata, there's not much for me to contribute as far as experience. I haven't yet tried setting a specific intention other than to be open to what comes forward. However, I am noticing some awarenesses coming to consciousness. I am trying *not* to "pull" at them, as I think they'll come more fully if I let them grow. It's good to read about what's coming up for you and of the value of journaling! I haven't added that to the mix yet. (Shiva Nata, Rolfing, occasional cranial-sacral, 2 kids, 2 cats, a husband and a job. Awareness and time for writing tend to get a little shortchanged).

Hooray! I'm a bit late with the congratulations, but they're still in place, methinks. I'm so glad you've passed a major plateau! And I love your expression "brain fog" – it's so descriptive of the state. Good to know that's where to cool down and go to meditation. Hooray! Sari O.’s last blog post..The culture of busy

I wish I could say I understood, but I can't say that. I look forward to getting to a point where I do. It's all very interesting though! Terry Heath’s last blog post..Lifehacks à la Gilbert and Sullivan - Make a Plan
