the 5 minute plan

 My kundalini is burning up my vagina like the wild fires  in the mountains west of here. 
A mostly empty gallon water jug  sits next to my bed.  I reak of valerian. 

A  little boy at the pool candidly observes "Hey Mommy is that baby dead?
Loading the cart with food at the grocery store,   "KIDs, we need to go, I need to find a tree to hug."

"But Mommy ???  can we leave the food.. in the cart..."
"Hurry, we need to go NOW!"

We are between homes, staying at a Best Western- me, my husband, two kids and tiny baby Josephine - til our new apartment becomes  available.

Now, 20 years later, I know more about grounding, so I don't need a tree. ( for that anyway)

But the same sort of overwhelm is coming with a new beginning, that is not triggering my survival, but my creativity.  
Funny how it feels the same.  
Then, I practiced the 5 minute plan, to just get through whatever chaos I was in, eh, sometimes the 1 minute plan.
Now, and in the past several years, when I am learning something new, I have my timer and my grounding.   I am in a new space, can I be with it for 5 minutes today, something else might be for 30 minutes.  The grounding cord, for spirit and timer for being in time, are helpful to assimilate to a new learning environment.  I am making a free grounding cord meditation you can listen to, to learn to do this for yourself wit other tools to follow.

Do you have any tools that you use to help you with learning?
