cross roads

I definitely know the feeling (i'm pretty much there, myself).  Kinda annoying, huh? 

Ever done much inner-guide/meditation type stuff?  It's something I've been playing around with to try and help myself get out of the funk.  It's pretty cool, was gonna write a blog about it at some point, a Jungian “active imagination” technique where you sorta personafy inner parts of your self, and talk with them. 

Hey, I just found a cool thing on Amazon to get instructions!  Go to www.amazon.com, do a search for “The Pilgrimage” (by Paul Coelho), and go to the page for it. 

Then hover over the picture of the book, and do “Search Inside”.  In the text box, search for “messenger”.  Then it will bring up a list of pages.

Click on Page 76 - “The Messenger Ritual” and read that page and the next.  Try that out!  It's pretty neat, it's really helped me a few times with various things. 

Thought I'd pass it along

I have definitely been in that place before. In many ways, I'm still there now.  In my search for figuring out what I want to be when i grow up, I've learned how to do a lot of things.  But the actual application of what I've learned?  Severely lacking in that department. :)  I can edit audio and video, I can create Flash animations, I can code ASP pages, I can give massages, and yet, I rarely use these skills in my actual day job.

I think I'm just in love with the learning process.  If only there were a way to get paid to learn stuff. 

perhaps this awareness of “boundaries”…whether bad energy or bad smell…might be the opening up of strengthening boundaries…

I think you must have channelled me in writing that post.  I'm in pretty much exactly the same place (which, alas, leaves me with no guidance to offer).  If I ever figure things out myself, I'll let you know what I did.

In the meantime, I'm trying to sit back and accept that it may simply be my nature to bounce around until I land somplace good, perhaps bounce forever.  The days I manage to do so are some of my most satisfying and productive.

Have you come across zero balancing-its newer in the Uk than in the US, but one aspect of it is that there is a distinct boundary between your energy and that of the client (interface). They do not mingle as in other therapies

We are all in that boat! I know what you mean about not really finding a focus point. I am gone from different ranges in job fields from teaching to daycare to lab work to office support. I like your idea of organizing and vegan baking for clients..brainstorm..and come up with a list and start from there so there is something to work with.
