    Hi RM,

    I had the same problem about 5 months ago.
    After speaking to Rawn http://www.abardoncompanion.com/Halt.html
    I decided to draw up my soul mirrors again - firstly concentrating on
    characteristics that stopped me from continuing the work efficiently. I
    then (& still do) employ the wish exercises to transform these traits into
    positive ones.

    Cheers,

    Andy
