Spiritual moments (2021)

MDMA experience

• Spent a weekend with Aimee and Shushann in The Blue Mountains where we took MDMA for spiritual purposes.
• It didn't effect me as much as Aimee and Sharon, maybe because of medication I'm on?
• Aimee and Shushann were extremely loving and said some beautiful affirming things to me. I felt deeply appreciated and loved. There was also lots of loving touch.
• I helped Aimee process some past trauma and issues and stood in for her dad and some others.  A little self conscious but Shushann later said it was exactly right what I said.  

Morning gratitude

• I go through a list of things I'm deeply grateful for each morning. It makes me feel very connected to Life.

Talks with Yogi when he was struggling with anxiety

• Yogi was struggling immensely with anxiety over having to find a new home to stay in.  
• We had some amazing conversations and I found myself giving wise advice on how to cope with anxiety, relating to Presence (resting in awareness), letting things be and being the space for emotions. Also how being in our senses reduces anxiety.
• Beautiful feedback from Yogi such as "That was just magnificent"  and "You and Eckhart are my guru."
