Have you found that doing that periodically helps clear your head
Clearing your head is not the goal for you with this exercise. I have been practicing clearing my mind for over two decades now and with the exception of affair am able to drop into 'no mind' state pretty rapidly. ( I can block it, but I have trouble processing thru it.) I let it slide for a long time there, ironically when I needed it most of course. Clearing your head is a differnt exercise.
Try out the suggestion, or some variation of it, i.e. go to starbucks and do it for 20 minutes. Let me know what happens.

Never believe what a woman says especially when it has the word feelings in it. Yeah she feels that way, hence is thinking that -at that time- but feelings change. often daily. And pretty rapidly when you dont have a negative reaction to them. Let it go in one ear and out the other.
Women know (not on a cerebral level neccesarily)they are emotional creatures, if you act like one she wont be able to(someone has to have a grip), or trust that she is safe to be one, nor will feel attracted to you.
