Greater Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram: sealed with a spoonful of honey

While walking I encountered the feces of what must have been a very sick animal.  It smelled awful and my immediate fear was of airborn diseases.  I said aloud, "that smells bad" and began to walk away.  There can be no aversion, so I walked back and smelled the unthinkable muck.

1:30-2:20 Sigil Writing (servitor)

9.17-10.02 MMM
-Shavasana, stillness, breathing, trying not to think
-The inhalation is quite easy to make slow and full, but the exhalation requires my full attention or it fits and starts in a staccato.  Lost concentration frequently.
-Common thoughts: "What will I do tomorrow" and "I need a new job"

10.06-10.26 Padmasana/mantra
-Left leg quite numb
-Focused really hard tonight, minimal breaks.  I noticed that when I had a subtle descent in energy (moses calls it a "slump"), as soon as  I noticed it, if I redoubled my effort just a bit and lifted my sternum by body became pleasantly numb.
