I do trust all the ideas you’ve presented to your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for beginners. May you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

Nothing wrong with this, at all, people should get it more.

@Jack - BIrding was a lot of fun. I think of it like I do fishing (I fish without bait or a hook) - its a great way to spend time in the natural world without having others disturb you. I have ordered two pairs of binoculars, I’ll have you know. I could not resist the urge.

@Terry - I love your Esoteric Saturday posts and am so glad you are willing to be a regular.

Ellie, it is a joy (and somewhat of a mental struggle) to write the Esoteric Saturday pieces for you. I loved doing it before and I will always be willing to do so in the future.

I’ve never done this myself, but before I even arrived at the word meditation that’s how I completely pictured how that must have felt. Sounds nice, really. The only zoom optics I ever owned were on a rifle of mine (paper target hunter, lol). But I could imagine doing this with a pair of binos. I don’t know anything about birds myself.. but I still think it would be fun. This truly was a bit of blending in, ey? Sounds relaxing.

Another welcome back.. And, I loved the ending to this post - cute!

@Michael - I was indeed paraphrasing - I aligned pain free with the time she hiked Mt. Washington (she felt it was one of her biggest accomplishments and she has spoken of transcending the aches and pains of that event into a feeling of escatasy, where there was no pain). Thanks for asking for more detail.

@Margaret - I really had not thought about helping her with the pain just through caring, but you are right, such things can go a long way. Thanks for commenting.

As a person who suffers from the pain of arthritis, I can empathize with your Aunt. Having a mental outlook of “no pain” is not without merit, though. I often find my pain is greater when my spirits are down for whatever reason. Having someone who so obviously cares about whether I am comfortable or not goes a long ways towards alleviating the intensity of the pain. I would say that whether your Aunt was in a true hypnotic state or not, she was receptive to your suggestion and it did help her deal with her pain.

I hope you enjoy your new binoculars. I’m equally sure your Uncle will enjoy his

HA! Crafty aunt! ;^)

It was kind of you to submit to the morning freeze, Ellie. I’ll admit to being curious, though, as to whether you actually used the words “pain free” or whether you were paraphrasing. I’d have said something along the lines of, “And how surprised and delighted will you be to discover that all through the day your body moves comfortably and naturally, as it did when you were a young girl?”

Nice to have you back.
