Warning Sign

As an addition to my most recent post, I noticed something about the energy when I am wrapped up in the small self.  When I am spiralling in on my small self, I can often delude myslef that these thought s are justified and real.  That they are the natural consequnce of my situation.  At these times I feel my Ki focussed in my head and upper chest.  When I relax and let the details be, ceasing to put energy into these circumstances (not telling the story), I can feel the Ki flow down into my abdomen and flow to other parts of my body.  This feels like more than an issue of muscular tension.  There is a shift in body mind and spirit at these times.  I have no idea if one precedes the other, but when the tension goes, natural flow of energy takes its place.
