Ep 19 - turning the mind
Episode description
Normally, I use a lot of skills to keep the metaphorical glass of water from falling off the table. This episode, I practice a skill so I can catch the glass of water before it crashes to the ground. Turning the Mind is annoyingly simple and annoyingly effective. It takes me a while to observe where I'm at, AND once I've done that, the rest happens annoyingly fast. I'm generally annoyed.
