I've been mulling over the issue I raised again last week (or possibly the week before, I forget), regarding getting distracted and anxious during the SoP, because it happened again this morning. I've isolated the crux of the issue: my worry is that, by thinking of someone during a banishing phase, even momentarily, I will either accidentally banish them, or unintentionally send the unbalanced energy of that gate towards them.
Of course, this can lead to a 'don't think about a pink elephant' effect, making it even more likely that I'll think of someone, then get worried about it, and so on!
A calm meditation on the subject led me to suppose that, in reality, the worst that is likely to happen is that the banishing and hence the SoP will simply be less effective, and the other stuff probably isn't worth worrying about. The Ogham, however, gave me a reading of Coll reversed for this interpretation.

I'd be very grateful for your thoughts on this.
