Thanks for that link- I signed up :)I think I need to start reading real books and not so much psychobabble... sigh... I made it through 3 chapters of "Pema Chödron's" [oh crap can't remember the name"
It was pretty good. leaning into the fear rather than resisting it. Good stuff.
As far as meditation goes. I have to be *really* careful. I was doing a fairly regular practice for 2 months when my depression last year reared its ugly head. 16 mos of therapy and medication later, I'm still a bit worried. Have tiptoed back with guided meditation. Problem was that I had all of the subconscious nastiness that decided to crap all over my conscious mind. Now I've gotten to know some of that nastiness better, and it's not so scary anymore, but some deep-seated fears had best be explored with a T in the room.
how's machiavelli coming? are you going to take over babble in a swift transfer of power anytime soon? lemme know and I'll prepare a feast of fresh fruits and vegetables. Not to forget my geodon cake. 90 x 60 mg capsules, just begging to be incorporated into a light fluffy batter. with frosting, of course. and a cherry.
