The Journal

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-09-24 – 09:57:31

I have to keep a *personal* journal of my experiences of the hypnotherapy course.
But do they really want to know what I think about ALL of it.
I think not .....
As we have been told that we may be asked to share our journal's thoughts with the rest of the group. >:XX

The course work is really interesting and I'm learning a lot.....
but there are a couple of characters on the course who could do with leaving their defense-attack mechanisms outside the classroom, I'm trying not to be judgemental here, but simply stating what I perceive to be a fact.
The really *personal* thoughts will have to be omitted OR written here maybe :?:

Stop ! and let me get Off

Fact: The house is a tip and needs tidying
Excuse: I was studying at college all weekend...........
Fact: The psychic development group are coming round tonight for their usual fortnightly meet.
Excuse: The house is still a tip because I'm blogging............
Fact: We are starting a creative writing course at lunchtime
Excuse: I'll have to wash my hair before we go, I can't leave the house looking like this....
Fact: The house still needs to be sorted before tonight
Excuse: There's not enough hours in the day to do it all...........
Fact: Say Goodbye and Get Off-line
Excuse: Sigh ! :wave:

Never a Dull Moment

Well I've gone and done it
It's been bubbling under the surface awhile and now it's here..............

I've signed up to achieve a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy.
Okay so it's not an Anthropology degree, but still in the same vein of having a deep empathy and interest in people and what makes them tick.

I'm so excited about it all..............

Look into my eyes !!!

My kind of Genius !

"Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, I hear them all at once. What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream." Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Old Wolfgang knew a thing or two didn't he :idea:
I'd like to be able to go to bed, then wake up with inspirational answers to my life's purposes to..............

When the truth Isn't what people really want ?

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-09-02 – 11:17:21

Yesterday I was lost in thought, looking at the vast displays of 'spectacles' which all appeared to be very similar indeed ( rectangular lense - with/without frames ) when an elderley lady came up to me and said 'Do you like these ?' and proffered a pair of rather large plastic owl-like glasses, to which I truthfully noted that 'they are rather large'.
She immediately defended her choice with 'Well I LIKE them, I need them for reading'...........
'Always buy what you think suits you best then' I replied.
So a fashion accessory they were not, I wonder who will be looking at her whilst she's reading ??

Coming Up for Air

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-08-23 – 23:59:23

How humourless and serious my blogs have been this week...........
But what an Odd week I've had :roll:
You would'nt associate them with me if you knew me and we were playing 'match the blogs to their owners' My friends would toss my comments for this week aside, saying that they must belong to some other miserable menopausal moaner................
And instead, continue searching for some other witty, cheerful, daring remarks, more in keeping with the 'slightly eccentric ol' me', that they know so well.......... :crazy:

Watch this space :wave:

Black Spots & Death Traps

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-08-22 – 11:29:08

I live about 10 minutes from the lay-by where a poor young woman's body was found burning in a suitcase just recently, such a sad and tragic ending.
The community was stunned that such a thing could happen in such a peaceful part of the country.

Last night I drove out to rescue a friend that didn't know how to get to our's via another route, as the same section of road was closed again this time for another serious road accident. It happens frequently along this particular stretch, which is neither straight or particularly windy and it has no other parked cars to navigate around.
I've often seen young lads race along this road with a car load of friends, I always hope they all arrive safely wherever they are going.

Old Friends Re-visited

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-08-21 – 13:20:36

So the bottom line is this....................
My childhood friend, has forgiven if not forgotten.
But I am now aware of her being a 'Born again Christian'
I don't think she will be able to accept my lifestyle, which may be totally un-acceptable to her new religious beliefs.
People often speak of being a 'non practising.........' whatever their belief system has been or currently is, but when you are commited to a certain 'ideology' and it has a strict code of practice, it cuts you off from those things that are 'outside your box' including old friends.
We may have very little in common, whereas once we had so much.........

Stones left Un-turned

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-08-21 – 10:54:25

We wonder what will be underneath, what secrets do they cover ?
But do we 'really' want to know, to 'experience' what may be there ?
Or would we prefer to impartially be told or simply observe, without the personal involvment ?
Can I put the stone back in place if I don't like what I find ?

Friends from the Past

by Holisticrocs @ 2008-08-20 – 12:04:10

The friend that I attempted to contact after 30 some years, has 'returned' my e-mail ( not re-buffed, but that would not have surprised me if she had ).

We were 16 when we last knew each other, and in a nutshell..............
I ended up marrying her boyfriend, hence the lack of continued friendship.
Eventual Karma - What goes around comes around and suffice to say it did not last and the hurt and pain was distributed around.
I have learnt the lesson 'Nicketh not, another woman's man.........'

We have both decided to let the past go, but should I have picked up this thread again ?
Only time will tell....................
