I’ll write this all in about a week on my official review but so far:
-Better quality sleep
-Cleaner energy through the day
-Pains from old injuries disappearing
-Even better mood than usual (Im already full of joy but it’s different I get these waves of appreciation to be alive)
-Soreness recovers fast
I had a fractured left elbow in 1994. Some time after the operation and the period of wearing plaster part of my forearm, from my elbow to my little finger (little finger) lost sensitivity. Surely nerve damaged during the operation.
To tell you to the point that once I put my hand on the side on a very hot radiator, a few hours later I had a big blister on my little finger. I didn’t feel anything. I had lost the skin and the nail which was deformed. Not very pretty to see.
I am having difficulty contracting this little finger. When it’s cold my finger gets stiff. Very difficult to unfold it.
After listening to the sound a few times, I have my little finger which makes small contraction movements. It’s funny but at night it’s awkward to sleep .
Maybe there is a repair being done on this area of my arm.
Haha I meant in terms of being able to travel, do a dark retreat etc.
May be, one day, when I retire early after having made a billion thanks to Mind Settings
An ancient Sanskrit saying says - udaranimittam bahukrtavesham - for the sake of the tummy, we wear a lot of costumes, some willingly, many unwillingly…
When the state of mind is not dwelling in the state of survival for a significant part of the day, I think a lot more things become possible. Hopefully, some day for me
In 2014 or 2015, he was in San Francisco, UCSF hospital, recovering from a grave illness. We heard about it and I lived close by. I did not even know where exactly he was, but I would sit outside every day and meditate, feeling happy that he was there somewhere in that large building.
And one day, I was sitting on a bench below a tree and meditating, on my way home after work and suddenly a wheelchair stopped right in front of me. There he was! I was shocked because he had steered the nurse towards me… He smiled and gazed deeply, like he was looking through me, and held out his hand, which I touched and boom, he was gone! Easily, one the most memorable experiences in my life.
In my zen lineage, we recognise (from his insights) that this man is probably one of the most enlightened beings to have walked the Earth for a long time. You were so blessed!
So that explains why I woke up after 12 hours of sleep yesterday, had breakfast and went back to bed again for a long nap. And why I’m craving lots of food.
