Amen. Or something.

I have a brain crush on mark_morford today.

"Sure, have a glass of wine. Take a few aspirin. Eat better. Exercise. More sex, less whining, better books.

And oh yes, also this: once a day, just for a few minutes, go sit very still, close your eyes, shut up, and breathe."

This is an excellent plan. I approve.

It echoes, nearly verbatim, the advice from my own doctor when I saw her last week.

Breathing is good.

There's some interesting stuff in this BUoBT book I'm reading right now. May buy a copy after all...

I am not managing to translate, though it's tickling at my brain. BUoBT?

It's no wonder you're not, since it's not a book anyone else in our circle is reading, most likely:

The phrase "upbeat chakra-talk" totally makes that synopsis.

But seriously. That sounds like an excellent read. Thanks for the link!

It gets a little fluffy-woo-woo for me at times, but I'm slogging through the reading part of it (never have gotten to the actual exercises yet, for a variety of reasons).

If I buy it, I'll lend you a copy. Hell, I could see going through some of this stuff WITH you (a lot of it is about your backstory/childhood pain, not your current relationship). Our resonances could work to our advantage...

That could be, but only if you stop flashing that userpic at me. It makes me want to puke, which CAN'T be good for our relationship. :)

Sorry. I'm inexplicably goofy this afternoon.

*laugh* Sorry, I could have changed it, but only before you replied. :)

Have I used that icon much lately? I expect you don't even know what it's from, and that's probably a Good Thing.

It's okay. I just try very, very hard not to LOOK at it. :)
