I have been having a terrible time getting into the proper mindset for meditation lately. I tried setting aside time on Sunday (yesterday), and instead fell asleep. Then last night while lying in bed, I could not for the life of me get my mind to quiet down long enough to even do a chakra cleansing. Then this morning after getting into work at 6:00 AM, I realized that I was starting to get my old doubting feelings back, and struggling with other things .. so I decided to take my authority (just in case it was spiritual), and tell whoever, or whatever may be oppressing me to leave. I then went into the ladies room, and while in there I heard a loud bang in one of the stalls. I checked the entire restroom, and no one else was in there with me. Making a mental note of the strange sound, I headed to my cubicle to start my work day.
Then, around 7:00 AM I left my cubicle to go down to talk with an auditor I design programs and reports for, and when I returned to my desk 20 minutes later, I found two of my nick nacks on the floor. One is a cute scarecrow harvest festival stick figure (don’t know how better to describe it), that was given to me by a friend at work. And the other was a stuffed toy frog that Mary gave me. The interesting thing about this is that in order for the scarecrow to fall to the floor and not take several nick nacks with it, it would have had to lift straight up in the air about 6 inches and then fall to the ground. Also, there were only about 5 people in the building at the time, including me. And most all of them were on the other end of the building (my fellow co-workers that sit in the cubicles near me don’t come in until around 8:00 AM). And none of them would have any reason to disturb anything in my cubicle.
The image (below) is a re-creation of how I found the nick-nacks. Unfortunately, I was so shocked at what happened, that I failed to take a picture, and placed the items back on the shelf. The items are pretty much where I found them.
Nick Nacks on the Floor
The second image (below) is how the nick-nacks were placed before I found them on the floor. Notice how the “scare crow” is behind all the other items.

As you can see, if my cubicle wall was bumped, in order for the scarecrow to fall to the floor, it would have taken all the other items with it. But only it and the frog were on the floor this morning. So it would have had to go up into the air, and then over the items in front of it to fall to the floor with only the stuffed frog.
With this and the noise I heard in the ladies room, I’m wondering if whoever it was that was affecting my ability to meditate became angry, and decided to let me know they were still around, despite my command to leave me alone.
