expectation, disappointment, expectation, disappointment...

Two words that every respectable man needs to understand thoroughly before venturing into the cyclical world of gayety.
At the top of the wavelength lies Expectation: from the Latin word expectare which means await or hope. The ex-refers to thoroughness and sepctare to the act of looking. In the dictionary, expectation is defined as a belief that someone should or will achieve something.
At the bottom of the wavelength lies Disappointment: from modern French desappointer which means to undo the appointment or remove from office. In the modern sense it is to frustrate expectations. In the dictionary, disappointment is defined as the feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one’s hopes or expectations.
Of course between the top and the bottom lies the whole spectrum of states in between.
Lie in Shavasana (relaxation of body and mind in the position of lying on the back, palms to the sky and legs open shoulder-width.)
Close your eyes and concentrate on the center between your eyebrows.
Visualize mentally the wings of a bird spreading then folding repeatedly as you inhale and exhale.
