New York City's Penn Station<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After a second time through the Sedona Method Foundational Training<\/a>
\nwith my good friend and colleague David Ellzey<\/a>,
\nI’m sitting here waiting to catch a train on the Long Island Railroad
\nto go out to see another amazing colleague,
\nchiropractic kinesiologist Dr. Steven Silverman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the course of the training,
\nI released lots of emotional “stuff”.<\/p>\n

We really pulled stuff out by the “roots”.<\/p>\n

It really felt like we did a lot of\u00a0 “deep weed eating”
\nof old emotional and mental issues.<\/p>\n

Most of the time in my life,
\nI’m wanting to “Be Productive”<\/a>,
\nespecially on the road.<\/p>\n

I do a lot of traveling, and I really try to use the “down time”
\nas efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n

But on this day, in this moment,
\nI don’t want to do anything.<\/p>\n

I am totally relaxed.<\/p>\n

Nothing is bothering me.<\/p>\n

All I want to do is just sit.<\/p>\n

My mind is silent.<\/p>\n

Like I’ve learned in other trainings,
\nthis experience is referred to as “wide-angle vision”,
\nwhere one just sits and takes everything in
\nwithout thought or judgment.<\/p>\n

There’s a (possibly homeless) man sitting next to me,
\nsleeping and snoring.<\/p>\n

There’s a “crazy” woman, having a conversation
\nwith herself and laughing out loud hysterically.<\/p>\n

There are people talking on their iPhones
\nand playing video games on their Droids.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people coming and going,
\nnonstop announcements over the loudspeaker.<\/p>\n

The multitude of senses that is New York City.<\/p>\n

And I feel like an Ocean of Calm.<\/p>\n

I am totally chilled out, my mind silent,
\nalone but not lonely.<\/p>\n

There is no urge to do anything.<\/p>\n

I feel calm and quiet on the inside,
\neven with the complete chaos swirling around me.<\/p>\n

It’s like an open-eyed meditation in the world.<\/p>\n

No internal pressure or rush (finally!).<\/p>\n

Totally satisfied to just sit here.<\/p>\n

Not having to do something . . . or anything.<\/p>\n

Calm.<\/p>\n

Peace.<\/p>\n

Just Being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
