Just let them linger in the back of our heads in the months to come… We began by bringing up a few of my pain points, using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%ABla_(Buddhism)|Vajrakīla]], the ritual dagger //"… to bind and pin down negative energies or obscurations from the mindstream of an entity, person or thoughtform, including the thoughtform generated by a group, project and so on, to administer purification."//. During and after the session these pain points were transformed into open questions. At the end of the day Stevie and I improvised a guided reflection for voice and hurdy-gurdy (see below), looking at how to transform insights from difficult situations into deeper aspirations...

 +== Guided meditation ==
 +
 +<blockquote>Think of a difficult situation that has you in its grip. Inhabit it, surround yourself in it as if you were in a movie. Look at yourself. What does your distress feel like? In your thoughts, emotions, in your body... What’s underneath this feeling? Is there a deeper wound, a vulnerability, a suffering, an unfulfilled yearning? Stay in this yearning for a while. See it, experience it as it is right at this moment. Offer it what it needs... As Thich Nhat Hahn says: "Darling, I see your suffering..." 
 +
 +Begin turning outwards... Look at the difficult situation again, and you in it. What does this situation want to teach you? What can you take from it on your life's path?
 +
 +Let's look at this path for a while... Your life... What if you had only a year to live? A month? A day? An hour? Just a few moments? What would really matter? 
 +
 +Slowly come back to the here-and-now. Look around you. Remind yourself how precious it is to be alive, no matter if it's for a few moments or many decades... How does it feel to be grateful for being alive? Let everything else fade into the background, as sound gradually fades into silence...</blockquote>
