In the same way I had learned with mediation, I became aware of the distraction and without placing too much attention or attachment on it, I gently let it pass. So, I sat myself down once again, this time prepared for the body’s reaction. There is was, it wanted to get away again. It wanted to move. Previously I would have stepped away, not knowing why, but now I was aware and I was going to stay where I was. I would become aware of the sensations in my body and allow them to pass.
Re-Writing Stored Memories
Isn’t it so interesting how our bodies store subconscious reactions to thoughts! I wasn’t even focusing on this particular writing, I mean I knew I was going to sit down and pick up where I left off, but it wasn’t immediate when my body already started reacting to it. I could sense the intensity increase the closer I got to the task, and the further away from the task the more it subsided.
