every once in a while ill listen to the voices in my head. one day I was cleaning the floor and a funnel spider ran out and stopped right in front of me. I have a pretty healthy fear of spiders. I jumped back and one of the voices said "listen". I was like no way.....but I looked at the spider and it would not move...it sat there for a few minutes in the middle of the floor under bright lights vulnerable. I reluctantly put my hand down in front of it. the voice said "listen". so I quieted my fear down by focusing on my hand and not the spider. as soon as I did that the black blotch moved and I felt apprehensive again. so I calmed down again and focused on my hand. as soon as I did the spider came up to my hand and touched it with it two front legs and walked away.
