From Negativity To Energy
In a recent post I mentioned having good luck at channeling my annoyance into relaxation and attention. Both of these states (relaxation and attention) are energy conserving states. In the past couple of days I have experienced thoughts and deeds that have produced feelings of depression inside of me. It occured to me that it might be possible to channel depression into a relaxed, attentive state. I did not succeed at doing this but wouldn’t it be nice to figure out how to do this ? Today I am experiencing sleep deprivation due to a hay fever attack in the middle of the night. I wonder if sleep deprivation can be used to achieve a relaxed, attentive state ? I did not succeed at this today either, but working on this is a new project that I am going to experiment with as the opportunities present themselves. Annoyance and anger are easier to work with because they invoke an adrenalin response inside the human body, but depression and sleep deprivation seem to inhibit one’s bodily energy. Wouldn’t it be nice to learn how to use physical / mental sensation as a means to energize oneself ? I would think that this would be a good skill, needed by the circulators heading to Massachusetts this weekend.
Godspeed to all circulators,
