Fast Day 8

It's been so gorgeous here lately* that this morning's clouds and rain were a real let down, but after the very low energy day yesterday - whew! Glad that's over - I woke up, well, not exactly leaping to get going, but close.

The morning meditation with ever wonderful Gilbert was a treat - perhaps some of you felt the LovingKindness beaming over from Germany? - and in almost black and white contrast to yesterday, I felt none of the heaviness of head that afflicted me from the beginning of the sitting. And then chest-expanding yoga followed by stretching, lunch with new friends Andrew and Patrick, and then Qi Therapy - I had an examination from a (German) doc who practices Chinese medicine which felt a lot like an amalgam of serious osteopathy/chiropractor stuff, cranial-sacral energy work, and yes! My first ever experience with acupuncture - some unknown number of needles in the belly (more than 5, less than 10 - so gentle hard to know exactly) which no, I cannot claim any known effects from at present except, I guess, the desire to write about it. But that we know is ever-present with me, eh?
