Thanks for that Claire. It generally occurs when I feel as though I AM moving into a different level of self understanding. I recall Steve referred to it a while ago as
social drag or when those around you haven't quite caught up with your new level of consciousness.
I understand the concept of mirroring emotions. As I said this usually occurs when I am at a place of increased self awareness but it can be enough of a niggle to bring me back down to the level my partner may be experiencing. It is hard to remain positive in situations where the other person does not respond to you at all.

I actually started re-reading the book for a second time while I was in Japan but have put it down again. I have the audio of
Practicing The Power Of Now which I should to listen to fully.
Thanks...
