I just want to check in really quick. I watched a video on meditation last night. I didn't do the yoga or the meditation because I was at work, but I watched it, and that has to count for something. As I've mentioned before, I'm trying to reach my subconscious somehow. I've been reading up on self-hypnosis and meditation and I'm starting to think that maybe there's something to this. I've always been skeptical of such things, but then I heard from a girl who actually cured her fear of rats through hypnosis. If this is true, perhaps I could cure my fear of arachnids and my great love for food this way. I'm at least willing to give it a try. I read that meditation, if done correctly, can actually help you become more intelligent and use more of your brain. Who couldn't benefit from that? This is all just ramblingright now, but I will put my thoughts down in a more orderly fashion and report on my experiments as they progress. This should be fun!
