[in one of the regular training rooms, close to one of the more populated areas of the DR, Axel's taking some time to get back to basics, after kind of losing control while dealing with Marluxia. the room looks a bit like a traditional dojo inside, and the door's been left open, only because he forgot to go back and close it. there are several aged and battered training dummies lined up against one wall; he's facing away from them for now, seated cross-legged on a thin cushion on the floor, hands palm-up on his knees, meditating. or trying to, anyway. he seems to be a little fidgety. feel free to come in and help him with that part of it, or harass him, or whatever. :Db]

I'm glad you're here, I could use your help with this meditating crap. I'm a little out of practice with it.
no subject
How exactly am I supposed to help you with "this meditating crap"?

[pulls one out from under himself; turns out there were two there, to protect his bony ass from the hard floor. >.> ]

[folds his legs and settles himself "properly".]
What did you do to meditate before?
no subject
[taps his head ruefully, and puts the second cushion under the first one again.]
no subject
[he waves a hand dismissively at that idea.]
Just tell Hachibi to stay quiet and focus on something. One thing. The sound of a fire going, maybe, or a certain scent. Something you can let yourself sink into.
no subject
They used to have us focus on a candle flame back in the village, but I always found that more distracting than helpful. Too tempting to play with it.
no subject
[that sounds just like Axel, though.]

Hi there.

It's okay, you can come in.
no subject
're you meditating?
[Don't be fooled by her age. She knows a lot of things that people wouldn't expect.
Especially after meeting Marluxia.]no subject
Yeah. It's a little hard for me, always has been. I'm not very good at blocking out distractions.
no subject
Whenever I try to block things out, I just stare at the back of my eyelids. That way, 'm not really thinking of anything, and I cant see anything to distract me.
no subject
Oof. That gives me a headache right away. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

/quits being distracted
Removing her shoes there at the doorway, she quietly walked in and spoke softly, moving to sit a little off to his side.]
Take a deep breath and try to not think of anything.
lol sure P:
That's the trick though, isn't it? Not thinking of anything is still thinking of something, and that's where I get hung up. The fact that I haven't done this in years isn't helping either.
Re: lol sure P:
Concentrate on the sounds outside, maybe that will work better. [There was a slight breeze and the soft chirping of crickets.] Just listening is a good beginning step.
no subject
...thanks. I hadn't thought to try that, especially with such a quiet noise.
no subject
no subject
I hardly ever have complete silence, no matter how hard I try. It's a little hard to get that when you've got something else rattling around up here, y'know?
[taps his head.]
no subject
Oh, I.. think I see! That must be tough.
no subject
I'd explain, but it would take too long. It's kinda depressing anyway, but yeah, it is a little tough sometimes. I've gotten used to working around it, at least.
