I saw these women and the energy was incredible. I have been doing a lot of clearing out, and I think even a month ago the event would have been too boring, I would have been too closed off. I don't remember much of what they talked about, but I was focused inwards and feeling it from that direction. I felt a physical and emotional lifting in my gut area.

So I'm getting more open, which is making me more sensitive. This is good, because being closed off is just hurting me in the long run. So then last night...

Coffee and aspirin and other minor drugs normally don't affect me, because I'm just too cerebral. Then last night, after the women's gathering, I had a fair amount of raw chocolate. Chocolate has theobromine, a caffiene-like compound. I could never feel it before, but last night it felt like I was on coke or something (not that I know what that's like). My pulse started racing, and I started to get worried. I couldn't sleep for hours. I had too many energy but couldn't focused it, so I stayed in bed as my mind raced. For a minute I was worried that I had gone too far with yogic practices and blown my crown chakra open :) But then I remembered that plenty of people get this sort of reaction with coffee or chocolate. And I rarely have either. I just have never reacted before. 

I'm tired as hell today, but it's nice to not be so numb anymore.
