Dear Diary, Today I went to my second session with my new psychotherapist, and there is probably more to unpack than I can remember. But I’ll do my best in this entry to sum up the most important things. Dealing with the part of me that seems never satisfied with what I’ve done, it turns… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, In today’s meditation, I had an interesting insight. Based on the teachings of the school of thought I’m following, I’m not inclined anymore to indulge my mind in judging and criticizing other people; they are my brothers, after all. Yet, recalling a quick interaction I had yesterday, I noticed some form of defensiveness… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Today, during a brief meditation, I found myself feeling a strong contempt toward some people who seem very hypocritical to me. They present themselves as “masters” in various fields without having titles, talents, qualifications, or real expertise, in my opinion, and they make a living selling courses or counseling or whatever.You can tell… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, In the past couple of nights, I’ve dreamt about my ex-girlfriends. Nothing bad happened in the dreams, yet they still left me unsettled.I cannot say I’ve been lucky in love, or maybe I’ve just suffered more than I could take, and never been able to get back on my feet.At this stage, I… [keep reading]

Dear Diary, I feel a little emotionally challenged today. What’s going on? It is a somewhat stressful period, during which I can’t keep up with my usual healthy practices. But that’s not the main issue, even if it doesn’t help. Yesterday, in a social interaction with others, something weird happened that I couldn’t quite understand…. [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Here are a few concepts I’d like to remind myself of in the days to come: Your intention to remind yourself of the pivotal choice between serving the ego or the Spirit captures a central theme of “A Course in Miracles.” This distinction between valuing the temporal world and embracing the eternal is… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Yesterday, I noticed I was in a kind of angry mood. There was no specific reason, even though I could point to some areas of frustration. As usual, I was trying to “evolve” that feeling when an insight/question struck me: what if this “anger” is actually me reconnecting with my inner strength? It… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I hope I’m not deluding myself, but my perception is strong regarding what I’m reporting here. I think I’ve identified my most significant wound, a wound I’ve carried almost since birth. I feel very clearly that it’s located around or in the second chakra. Words fail to capture all the nuances of this… [keep reading]
