After the First Class

I'm taking a 16 week course on Psychic Development at The Center in Mpls. It's instructed by Echo Bodine. Last Tuesday was the first class. It was interesting, but like most first classes, most of it was just hearing about what we would be doing in the future weeks. I didn't really think I'd gotten all that much out of it. What happened though, was very interesting.

It was as though my psychic abilities went into overdrive. I just suddenly knew things before they were going to happen. Echo had given us an assignment to begin a psychic journal and to write down all of those sorts of things. Now - I had always known things before they happened so that wasn't such a big deal...or so I thought. Suddenly I knew lots of things. One day I was walking to a restaurant for lunch and I knew that I was going to have beer cheese soup with my salad. This restaurant doesn't normally have that on the menu, but sure enough, they had it - and I had a cup with my salad. One day I was gardening and I had the thought that it would be nice to have my iPod on. I don't own an iPod so it was an odd thought. The next day a co-worker asked me if I'd like to have her old iPod. I of course said yes, thank you.

Another odd - extremely odd - thing that has happened to me in the past week is my obsessive need to be outside. Shoes off and walking in the grass. Planting flowers. Sitting with the wind blowing over me. The sun soaking into me. Sleeping with the window open at night. This is completely different from me normally. Typically I am content to sit in the house with the air conditioning blowing. I've always joked that I'm a child of the asphalt. I grew up living in an apartment. Outdoors is foreign to me. Ever since this class I can't get enough of it. I have even created in the last week, an outdoor sitting area where I can read while enjoying a cool beverage. It's secluded and comfortable and I'm surrounded by flowers and green grass. It all feels so foreign and yes so totally normal. I know it has to do with this class.

Class two is on Tuesday. I will keep you updated as to what new and interesting things happen next.
