PD Revelation

In a number of prior posts I've explored ways of improving the continuity of connection with my invisible Friend. See, for example, here and here. Always looking for ways to enhance the process, I've recently come back to this topic.

I talked it over with a friend who is also following the JWH approach to recovery and is now well into the stage of recovery symptoms :). He mentioned something that I realized might provide a boost in keeping the dialogue going, an area that has always been challenging for me.

He mentioned that he simply talks to his Friend about everything, including all sorts of daily decisions. Those might include things like like what to eat, when to take a nap, or which TV show to watch. Of course involving your friend in routine daily decisions would be subsumed under JWH's encouragement to turn all of your thoughts, including any internal monologue or dialogue you would otherwise be having, into dialogue with your Friend. But when I thought about it I realized it was something I hadn't been doing. So lately I've added that to my dialogue, and now my connection with my Friend is a little more continuous!

I've further improved the continuity of connection with a greater emphasis on the “stop in your tracks technique” combined with the variation on exercise #2 described here. I'm pretty sure that the more time I can experience being held in my Friend's arms the faster my recovery will progress.

I still have a ways to go in making the dialogue, in particular, more continuous. It seems to come easily for some folks, not so easily for others of us. If you've read my previous thoughts on the subject and have come up with any ideas I've overlooked I hope you'll send them my way. I'd appreciate it!
