Great question Lorna.
As I reflect on the state of my incarnation, I find that I create stress and anxiety where none is needed. I somehow and for some reason often turn life into a problem that need not be. This does not manifest itself into dramatic activity or outward expression, but it frequently seems to be more or less present in the background of consciousness.
By most definitions my life circumstances are favorable. I probably don't experience 90% of the grueling catalyst that most have to endure on this planet. Yet there seems often to be a low, underlying level of dissatisfaction. Seldom am I at ease, relaxed, and at one with the moment.
As I watch the workings of my energy dynamics, I see that I rarely want to be fully in the moment. I'm often looking to get to the next moment, to get the task before accomplished in order to be in a seemingly "better" moment. And when I arrive at that moment - even if it is filled with the most desired activity or leisure time - I still myself desiring something more. Ugh.
So I continue to meditate and watch the contraction loosen every so slightly over the long run, releasing tension muscle fiber by muscle fiber.
Love&Light, GLB
