Jane Wolfe Diary Entry

Wednesday, 16 March 1921

 

     

 

A.M.

 

 

4:00-20

 

HALAHEL

I travel, yes; seem to rise at times—always a sense of earth; ground, I mean, as distinguished from rocks.

9:30

 

For first time, am beginning to feel a physical reaction, as of strain.

9:40-10:00

 

Asana

10:00-20

[1]

Dharana

Am wondering about this “automatic rigidity”, “corpse rigid”. People of perfect concentration work with relaxed bodies. God moves along line of least resistance.

10:20-40

 

Harpocrates.

I don’t know.

 

I’m tired.

 

20’ Pranayama/

 

 

 

P.M.

 

Lay 2 hours in hot sun on court.

 

15’ Egyptian house. Door massive, of polished mahogany colour, house cement, thick walls. Could get nothing, then whole house, terrace & I rose, and kept on going. Found myself becoming, as I thought dizzy. Still continued for a time, then forced my way slowly back, as I was getting nothing. Beetle’s wings over door.

 

20’ Pranayama.

7:15-35

 

Asana

7:35-55

 

Dharana

I don’t know.

7:55-8:15

 

Harpocrates

Thought I could not finish this—very little mental concentration.

20’ Pranayama, 10-20
