Starting out at the bottom of the class is a bit daunting, with so many, so far ahead.
Lesson 1 Part 1 : Listening to a Noisy World.
I have a quiet spot behind an outbuilding that I go to for a bit of peace and quiet.
It seemed like the perfect spot to start my training.
I sat for a few moments, and remembered the instructions.
Listen to individual sounds then add them to my awareness, and keep them there.
Not the easiest task in the world, but the sounds I heard were as follows
1st - Trees blowing in the wind. Very calming, and peaceful.
2nd - Background noise from traffic. A little disturbing as a sound, but I kept it in there.
3rd - I noticed I could hear insects/flies buzzing all around. Quite amusing to me, as this is something that would normaly annoy me.
4th - A constant beeping from industrial machinery, a mile from my home
Keeping the sounds together was difficult at first, but as I started to hear more sounds, and get more practice, the task became a little easier.
I was up to my 5th which was some geese in a nearby field, then the noises seemed to be suppressed by some other noise.
I listened very carefully to see if I could tell where the noise was coming from, but there was no source.
It started as a light whistle in my ears, and stayed there. Not overpowering, but certainly noticable.
Then I heard another weird one. Like water gushing through some old pump.
It took me ages to work out what the sound was, but I realised it was blood pumping in my ears.
All a bit disturbing so I stopped the exercise, and will await further advice
Messed my dreams up too. I was shown a large banner by an old friend. It read " YOU ARE TOO AFRAID "
