From Bobby to Brian
July 21st, 2009
Both allegory’s were kind of “out there”, but I thought the one about the Sun was REALLY strange. I still don’t quite understand the concept. We will hopefully figure it out one day 
I am seeing what you mean about the “distraction of pain” technique. William also told me a technique where you focus on your area of pain as the color Red. I don’t know why but for some reason it distracts me from the pain and helps me concentrate on deep breathing. I am going to have another yoga session with a different instructor soon and have her focus on gentler poses and more meditative breathing. That seems (for right now) to be the best for me right now.
I’ve also been drinking these protein drinks from Odwalla (the ones you see at whole foods and stores like that) that have really been helping too I think. Nutrition is SO important I’ve realized slowly over the years, it’s unbelievable. I’m finding little things like these protein drinks and how important staying hydrated is. And REST. Our batteries (especially mine) need a lot of recharging in order to have energy and feel good.
I hope you’re good, and I’ll talk to you soon!
Bobby.
