I would love to take that journey with you Lavie. How about you Sun? You mentioned you were going to memorize the chakras so you could work with them offline. I remember finding a diagram online that I printed off to reference. I will try to find it again.
Maybe we can build on this intro to go deeper together. If you guys are game I would like to try coming together once a week instead of every two weeks. Like Sun I really felt the energy of the three of us doing it together. I think that is why the peace came so quickly given the state I came into it with. I am still feeling the peace given the increased angst et al we have each been experiencing lately. I think this was very timely for us. I know it was for me. I feel inspired to learn more too.

It eventually returned, but the temporary silence was glorious. It makes me wonder if I can weaken the neural pathway producing the music by forcing another task while it's happening. It needs to be an active enough task. For instance, reading is too passive. Since I'm very poor in math, it was just the right challenge. Hmmm. .

That is awesome Lavie. What a cool discovery! Good on you for coming up with the idea. Counting backwards by 7 would certainly challenge my brain. lol. What a treat to have even a few minutes of real silence. I am going to try that especially when the noises become intense.
Lavie.... once you find your way west I guarantee you will never want to leave. No one needs a winter coat over here.
Wishing everyone peaceful sleeps and sweet dreams. Be well.
