Of course! Yes, the labyrinth...I'm not sure why it had the effect it did -- physically, that is. I think really it's the proof in the pudding (as if we need it) of the chemical or otherwise link between action and the mind.... There was a little bit of scariness to it. It was so big it felt at first like it was never going to end. Then the 'present' took over, and with each turn or series of steps, I seemed to pass through some short journey. Very interesting and ultimately peaceful. Glad you like! xxoo Thanks Mom, good to see you here. Of course!

my solution to sudden born-again, becoming-obnoxious problem (rather than losing free will) was to quickly structure a spiritual system i could live with and then hope i’d ’snap’ to that and not something more pedestrian. so far, so good. no snapping.

the way you describe the labyrinth is somewhat terrifying.why the physiological response, i wonder? fear? wonder?

i adore your blog. i guess i’d best say that, being your mother and all.
love,

Quite peculiar. Seems to be *everything*, somehow. Meditation. I used to do quite a lot of it, and have managed to teach my children the rudiments. I need to do it more. I'm too fragmented. It's a labyrinth. No, I mean a maze... xxoo Yeah, thing is though it was/is weirdly not/is ‘new age’. Quite peculiar. Seems to be *everything*, somehow.

Meditation. I used to do quite a lot of it, and have managed to teach my children the rudiments. I need to do it more. I’m too fragmented. It’s a labyrinth. No, I mean a maze…

xxoo

Sounds like something I'd love. I do have this "new age" itch to me that doesn't get scratched enough, especially here in London. I meditate too, but I'm not sure I've had Alis' experience yet. Looking forward to it sometime, though. Fascinating! Sounds like something I’d love. I do have this “new age” itch to me that doesn’t get scratched enough, especially here in London.

I was additionally fascinated by the physical and physiological aspects: when I first stepped on, my legs almost gave way. I at times felt steady on my feet, at times wobbly. And the notions of stride, pace, corner-turning -- and their attendant physical and psychological variables...Really, really occupying stuff. Good to see you here again Alis! Yes, exactly.
