Somewhat tired

Yesterday's practice must have been pretty exhaustive. Have been more or less only eating and sleeping today. Well, with a few pk attempts on cyclone Yasi again.

I'm starting to think that perhaps it's more difficult to stop storms when they are already too close. It might be because of people's expectations of the storm .. something like a few minds versus millions. Opposing force training at a completely new level..

While watching live feeds, I analyzed the feelings people had about the storm. Most of them seemed to be pretty confident and even enjoying what was going on outside. So, I thought maybe pk would have more effect a few hours later when people have grown somewhat tired of the storm.

On my way home, I had just a stray thought on the storm dropping from category 5 to category 3. Checked the tracker and it had indeed become a category 3 storm. Perhaps our efforts paid off when most people had lost their interest in the cyclone.

This theory might also explain the feelings while attempting pk on storms. Sometimes there's a lot of motivation, sometimes there's a feeling like "don't spoil it" instead.

Practiced Trataka on a candle, tried splitting the flame like TopExnur did. Only managed to narrow the flame down from the middle, but at least it looks like it would be possible. Also tried to extinguish the flame, but stumbled into the bucket of too many mind and the flame grew back again.
