Today I feel ill, a very annoying cold is coming. Not surprising, since I didn’t take care of my food or slept properly in weeks and my immune system must be low.
I worked, drank plenty of water and did a good half hour meditation with Reiki. Napped the rest of the day. I have a bad headache so I didn’t go for my conscious walk today. Instead, I sat in my favourite spot in the lounge of the hostel, a cozy bench on a window that gives me a good view of the street. While I was cooking up my dinner, I observed the people and the cars and the sky from my little corner.
It was very pleasant and relaxing: I watched the sky getting dark in the twilight, I watched people with big suitcases struggling to find their hostel/Airbnb, friends going to see some show enjoying themselves, a group of tourist following a guide of a ghost tour company. The guide was dressed up in a black cape, while the small group of people following him lacked in any kind of vitality… Mostly, people were bent on their phones, just a few bored ones looking at the person in front of them, nobody really looking around at the city. We give so much of the world around us for granted, and we find so many distractions NOT to look. Conscious observation is an exercise more important than ever!
I’m still with a sore throat and headache, but I’m almost ready to catch up on my sleep… Just a bit more Reiki before goodnight!
