Morning Contemplations Sunday
This morning I have been contemplating how I may have a fixed view of myself that needs to change. I have a very busy life. Everything is enjoyable. My livelhood involves four areas - my Mom, HR Block, petsitting and my classes and workshops. It's been dificult for me to juggle and I get schedules confused - not good.

The other day I was talking to a friend about being an introvert - an INFP for you Myers Briggs folks. Not only am I an INFP but in my brain waves, the ratio of theta (slow, dreamy, creative) waves to my beta (faster focused) waves is so high that I am actually quite far into the autistic spectrum. So I've taken it for granted that this type of life is not appropriate for me.

But it is my life. I am going to attempt to change my view of myself to one of "I can do this." I've made my physical life very small in a good way. I rarely leave Venice, which is so beautiful that's not a sacrifice. With one roommate and one more on the way I will eventually pull out of the financial hole which will open up more space in my life. I can be very connected with friends all over the world without leaving my bedroom, thanks to facebook.

Perelandra came out with a new essence that is helping my focus and concentration. I really think if I stop holding on to my belief that this is too much for me, I will relax and handle it all.

Theta waves

Theta waves are the realm of medicine people also and where they do most of their work. Some people struggle for a lifetime to be able to put themselves into theta at will. Be glad you have that access so open. Functioning in this physical life while in theta is totally possible. You do have to watch out for distractions though.

I'm just learning about you from an AC content provider (writer online) and enjoyed reading your journal today. From what I'm reading, I think you might relate to and enjoy reading "Learning to Fly", a short story at http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1479744/learning_to_fly.html?cat=44

Hi skecani =thank you for reminding me about these also being shamanic brainwaves. I was told that once many years ago. I'm sure if I was raised in a shamanic culture I would have received the training that would have made it easier to be this sensitive and function well in the world.

I've ended up receiving it gradually through many sources and plan on living a long life as I am just now getting the hang of the whole thing!:>)

Alpha waves

Get this -- white or green teas are supposed to produce alpha waves in people (which are between beta and theta)... Google "white tea alpha waves" if this sounds too fantastic to be true. I know I raised my eyebrows at it at first.

well it's good to drink teas anyway as they are loaded with antioxidants!
