ZZZzzzzZZZ

Long night...
Love to spend time with productive people,
so often we dont appreciate good work and cant see beyond...



"Sometimes, in the middle of the night, when the rest of the world is sleeping, artists and technicians gather
in unlikely places, to talk and throw ideas around. Unfortunately, these conversations are never recorded,
but the culminating results can sometimes be experienced." Audrey Regan

Imaginary Energy Body

This is a great execise that I apply every time I feel insecure. I had to confess something to somebody, I didnt know how to start, where to start, how to act. I focused and thought about how should I do it. When I saw the person i was going to meet I took my time and a deep breath, thereupon, I sent my energy body and it took place right in front of this person, I pictured myself doing it after..I walked right after it and possessed it. It gave me strenght. I stared at the person and my speech went so smoothly that the message was clearly undestood.
This happened in just minutes, but describing it seems like i prepared it for days..
It is an awesome execise that we can even apply it in real life, just dont overact to it, it is supposed to be performed with a little meditation and a lot of confidence...

hot N cold

There is something about coldness that makes me so sad. Every time I picture that frozen ball inside of my chest I contract. I'm vulnerable and unhappy. I dont know if this has to do with me hating winter time and loving the summer.
When we start imagining that we have a ball inside our chest, I feel it, when is room temperature, I find it fresh, Im just plain, not happy not sad just normal. The ball starts to get cold and colder.. my feelings change inmediately, I'm afraid, I'm lonely, I want to stay in a corner far from others, so I dont get them cold like me (sad and vulnerable as well)... I dont want to damage their happiness, if Im left alone at least im the only one suffering, having someone as sad as me wouldnt make me any happier...
but when the annoying iced ball gets warm, my mood starts to change for good. TYhe warmer it gets, the more powerful I become. Im big, Im important and I know I can radiate people my positive vibes. I want to approach them, its all good and it gets better!, "Im alive I want you to know about the beautiful things life has for you", thats pretty much what im saying.
When this ball gets too warm that feels like burning, I get a little afraid cuz maybe not everybody is ready for it. I become more distant, but I try to show them that is a good thing to feel secure and protected. I get positive responses!

I wish I could always be warm :)

A thinker who feels

There are three different centers:
head "the thinker"
chest "the feeler"
hips "the doer"
Im definetely a thinker, there is always a lot going on in my mind, I imagine things people would never be able to undestand. I guess that makes me a lit bit crazy, in a good way. I can describe myself as being partial feeler. I am very emnotional and in some cases moody, but because I'm aware of it (I think about it) I try to cover it as much as I can. I totally admire DOERS, they really get to do whatever they want, they dont think, they act! Even if sometimes they get in trouble for ir, most of the time they just get right for at elast trying.

I become a doer when Im wearing my stilettos at night, whoever invented them, he/she knew what they were doing. Girls walk like they are competing in a beauty pageant, like they are all that.
In class, I always try to become a doer, stop thinking about what is on my mind, and just do. That is way too much fun that walk staring at my feet and trying to analyze what things go certain way. This class has made me forget about what I think and just enjoy... you are not alive unless you live it up!
