A friend of mine , Beth , was telling me about her energy work yesterday.
" I can give you some healing " Beth she says " how's tomorrow for you ? "

" Fine with me " is my reply .
I am quite receptive to energies and a good guinea pig as I can give useful feedback.

So this morning I have to pick Beth up at Hemköp as she's lost. We drink tea and then she gives me healing in the blue room.

I'm lying on my back on the couch , eyes closed . I ask if it's ok for me to speak and I'm told it's fine. There is no touching , but as soon as she begins I feel energies moving in my body . I feel as if someone is holding my head and toes. The energy moves up my legs and thighs. It is deeply relaxing. At one point I feel a sharp pain - like senstation on the inside of my right knee, the one that is injured.

I fall into a trance like state. I can hear the clock ticking and sounds around me but I am totally relaxed, hardly needing to breathe .. deep meditative state .. stillness .. even my thoughts are still. It's so pleasant. Then Beth taps me on my shoulder " Are you awake ?"

I snap back in my mind while my body takes longer to wake up.

Amazing

The Shadow of the Wind is a dream date for those who love books.'

Says the review :

" It starts, in 1945, with the introduction of the young narrator, Daniel, to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. Daniel’s father, a dealer of used and rare books in Barcelona, tells the young boy, “When a library disappears, or a bookshop closes down, when a book is consigned to oblivion, those of us who know this place, its guardians, make sure that it gets here.” In the Cemetery, “books that are lost in time, live forever…. Every book you see here has been somebody’s best friend.” Mourning the loss of his mother, Daniel befriends a book he finds there, The Shadow of the Wind, written by a certain Julián Carax.

Entranced by the novel, young Daniel sets out to discover who this Carax was, and what else he wrote. Daniel’s father, the book dealer, has never heard of Carax. Together they consult other dealers. One offers Daniel a considerable sum of money for his copy of The Shadow of the Wind—but won’t say why he prizes it so highly. Daniel, though, refuses to sell the book. "

My friend Beth says it's a magical book

Learned about this from J.P who has decided to do this seminar in London at the end of March. She's succeeded in raising the course fees against all odds and is going to finish off with a couple of days at a luxury hotel to relax and celebrate her birthday. Sounds like a good idea.

The Negative Love Syndrome and 
the Quadrinity Model©
A Path to Personal Freedom and Love
by Bob Hoffman
Robert Hoffman (1921-1997)

Written by Bob Hoffman, this entire booklet offers substantial insights into the principles on which The Hoffman Quadrinity Process is based. It is available in its entirety via web links below, as a PDF download and as a free printed booklet upon request.
Renowned for his intuitive capacities, Bob Hoffman was a gifted and generous man dedicated to awakening people to the awesome power of love that dwells within each of us. He believed that unconditional love was the birthright of every human being. Mr. Hoffman embedded his profound yet elegantly simple theory of the Negative Love Syndrome into a powerful experiential learning modality known as the Hoffman Quadrinity Process.

Hoffman’s basic insight came to him in 1967. For the next five years he collaborated with psychotherapists and psychiatrists to help individuals on a one-to-one basis. In 1972, he and noted psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo, M.D., began presenting Hoffman’s method as a 13 week course in a group setting. He called it the "Fischer-Hoffman Process" in honor of the late Siegfried Fischer, M. D.. Over the next 12 years, the Fisher-Hoffman Process gained a reputation for producing deep and lasting results.

In 1976 he authored Getting Divorced from Mother and Dad, published by E. P. Dutton and Co., Inc. It was later republished under the title No One is to Blame, Freedom from Compulsive Self-Defeating Behavior, available from the Hoffman Institute Foundation.

In 1985 Hoffman reformatted his program into an 8-day residential intensive, renamed it the Hoffman Quadrinity Process, and then initiated an eight year period of inspired development and refinement. Today the Hoffman Quadrinity Process is presented in twelve countries to some 5000 participants each year.

Mr. Hoffman retired from teaching the Process in 1991. He remained active in his work until his death in 1997.

Hmmmmmm

How time flies - it's early midnight.
Trying to collect my thoughts, gather them all up , and fluff up the cushions on the sofa before I go to bed.

I leave for Manchester next week - 28th.

This " 100 facts about me " me that is going around is interesting. What do I want people to know about me ? Who would want to read this list ? Why would I want to do it ? Would I want The Prof to read my list ? Would I be truthful ? would I be creative and lie ? Would it matter ?
Would I care ?

Zen thought of the day " Feel what is going on in the moment "
