Fabulous introduction to the week 7 meditation! Just this morning, at first waking, I had noticed myself having thoughts about the body. It seemed to me even then that the body's signals had often headed me out of trouble, while my mind otherwise would cling to old ways. Jeddah's introduction spoke directly to issues a friend had been asking about this very week. My friend (who steadfastly refuses to meditate because of breathing problems) asked if the universe was "testing" her, because of myriad troublesome events in her life. I held back from a quick answer, though I had wanted to explain that it's her belief about being tested which brings on what she perceives as attacks. Now, after listening to Jeddah, I can (treading very carefully) try to give my friend a better answer. I wish I could find a way to help my friend overcome her fear of meditating.
