Yes, exactly.

How did it FEEL to see this?

Could you find any separate "self?"

Hi Stacy
How did it FEEL to see this?
I feel a slight tingling in my shoulders and neck but now it feels more like excitement than fear. I also feel a little lighter
Could you find any separate "self?"
I can never find a self when I look. There are just thoughts popping up as I think what to write that seem like a self talking.

I should have mentioned yesterday, after I did the fear meditation again I began to feel a serious lightness, like something was really shifting. I’ve felt it a little today but not as much.

Thanks
Chris

like excitement than fear.
Excitement and fear are almost identical sensations. The only difference is your interpretation, thoughts.

I also feel a little lighter
Good! That is probably the shift in perception that we are looking for. Keep reporting that. Lightness is the truth feeling.

Hi Stacy

I don’t really feel the lightness today at all. Is this normal?
I keep doing the desk exercise and will keep doing so. I didn’t sleep well last night. I think that might have something to do with it.

Lightness or the truth feeling goes away every time you believe an untrue thought. That's most of why it comes and goes.

You can use The Work of Byron Katie or me Direct Looking to question the un true thinking. There's a lot to unravel.

We have some traditional checkpoint questions. Would you like to answer those?

I watched those before but I think I understand now thank you. The link in your last message doesn’t seem to work.

Sure. Shall I keep doing the sensations exercises in the meantime?

Sorry. It's www.thework.org or www.thework.com

Cut & paste. They're working for me.

Are you still seeking? Or is it now clear there is no separate "self? "

No, it’s not clear at all.

I appreciate that Stacy but to be honest with you I’ve been a bit ill the last few days and I think it’s thrown me off a bit. If it’s ok I’d like to carry on with the pointers I was doing before as I really felt I was making progress before yesterday. It was mid morning yesterday it all just seemed to go murky again.

Hi Stacy,

I’m still doing the exercises. Nothing to report yet but it took a few days last time so I’ll keep doing it and report back to you when something changes.

Sounds good. Please check in every couple of days so that I know you're still there.

Hi Stacy, I keep doing the exercises- the hand on desk one, the turning the hand one and I keep doing the fear meditation. Although nothing seems to be happening. I don’t really understand. Last week something definitely started to happen but this week nothing is happening even though I feel as though I am doing the exercises better than before.
What do you think?

Chris
