チャンピオンズリーグをみるどころではありませんでした。orz

先日,ネイティブに冠詞を直されまくった原稿がやっと校了しました。

ATP TOUR Masters1000 Paris, 錦織圭選手は第1試合という放送カードとしては,
ありがたい試合配置。錦織圭選手,ストレート勝ち。明日のNHKの放送カードは,
錦織戦だろうから,ゴファンvsチリッチ戦は観戦できず,ちょっぴり残念ですわ。

登場したことですし,割りとNHKに可愛がられている増田有華さんにも出演して

psychic anchor

Create a Psychic Anchor

In nautical terms, an anchor is a device to hold a ship safely in one position.
In psychic terms, an anchor is something that brings you back to a state of focus.
You can trigger your anchor, or something else can trigger it. Athletes develop
anchors to help put them in "zone." An example is the many different moves
baseball players make before they take their place at bat. They are attempting to
put themselves into an altered state of focus hat helps them perform at their best.
Chances are that you have already been using anchors whether you are consciously
aware of them or not. These anchors can either be good or bad for you. Think of love
and fear as two opposite types of anchors. The thought of fear can cause people to
stiffen, while the thought of something loving can create softness. You can probably
think of something that anchors a fear as well as something that puts you in positive
state.
Knowing how to create positive anchors for yourself as well as others can be a powerful
tool to help with psychic development. It really isn't a complicated process, and
your anchors will be different than anyone else's because they reflect how only your
mind works. Creating instant altered states of focus can be a very useful tool in almost
every aspect of your life, not just in developing your psychic abilities. You have already
started to develop an anchor when you allow yourself to feel the Universe's productive,
unconditionally loving energy. It's time now to create a shortcut to that energy that
lets you access it in just a moment of time.
