Of a snowy morn
The Doubter confronted me this morning. "What were you doing in bed last night?" A puzzled expression yielded a demo: head moving rapidly from side to side, lips flapping causing a slurpy slap.
I laughed.
The Doubter remained serious.
"I was sooo mad when I saw that."
The inquiry. "This is not one of those Yogic breathing things you're doing, is it?"
I frankly cannot imagine what it was, perhaps frustration.
The path from housewifery to glorious goddesshood, is a rocky one, mysterious and fraught with resistance from those who really liked it the way it was. The same kind of feelings that Martha Stewart's usual guests will have next Thanksgiving.
Addendum: Just as I was about to publish this, my dear, pseudonymous friend, Weidra, called to report progress with her partner, The Computer Genius. This morning, he inquired about her Internal Family Systems Training (Level I), which begins today. (I just couldn't bring myself to sit on those little, hard, convent chairs for six weekends, no matter how wonderful the material. I wouldn't mind going to Mexico again, though.) The CG asked if he might be able to read something about IFS. (Fortunately, there is a spiral bound manual, written especially for the laity.) Weidra suggested that he might help her by becoming a practice subject.
This is manifestation happening before our very eyes --- right out of "The Esther Hicks Channeling Abraham Manual". Weidra has worked tirelessly on maintaining her positive vibrations in the relationship, and he has responded in kind. We are simply thrilled
To give you an idea of the starting point, Weidra is an international teacher in a couple of other mind-body areas, about which he has never inquired. This takes a certain amount of curiosity continence. Fear is a great motivator.
I shall make a greater effort to do the same with The Doubter. I am changing his name to The Trail Head, for the purposes of positive manifestation, in honor of the potential power of my vibration.
Photo note: Another little white line on the right margin. Sorry. It offends me too , but I don't know quite what to do about it. Serves me right for photoshopping.
