New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Black
Incense of the day: Geranium In your favorite park or open garden space, try taking a leisurely 15-minute walk in utter slow motion, much as Zen practitioners do. As you move, relax your body so that each movement becomes a slow and fluid action. When your knees bend and your heel begins to lift from the ground, slowly roll your arch. With each step, strive for silence and a slow and steady flow. If you become distracted, simply focus again on the ground and ease back into the lull of graceful motion. Feel the grasses beneath your feet bend to bear your weight and thank them for their flexibility and endurance. From this place, clearly see time as a chosen perspective. The subtle energies of life rush around us in accordance with human drive and choice. We define time as we learn to observe it, as sustenance and need often demand. When we visit this slow fluid place, we make contact with a deeper and more subtle Earth clock. This is the true time of our physical environment. When we learn to observe Earth time, our expanding consciousness grounds and centers us in our daily lives. |
