FREEZE!

Time to switch off!

At some point during your day, just stop what you are doing!  That's right, FREEZE!

Let your vision drift in and out of focus, breathe deeply for a few moments, then breathe normally!  Relax your shoulders, relax your head, if you can, close your eyes.

Let your thoughts drift in and out like the waves of the ocean, you are a rock, solid and firm, nothing more, nothing less.

Stay like this for as long as you can................... Then continue with your day!

Obviously, I dont need to say that you need to make sre you are not operating heavy machinery, pouring boiling liquid, driving in heavy traffic or doing anything that will put your life in danger if you suddenly freeze.  But why have I included this simple meditation?

Our days are spent constantly thinking, acting, reacting and our minds are always alert, ticking away like little clocks.  Even as you read this you are probably thinking about something else as well!

Meditation is about learning how to deal with a distraction.  Throughout your day, there will be many "down"times where you can do this, maybe you are waiting for a bus, just sitting on the sofa watching the TV, buttering your morning toast!

Take your mind by surprise, give it a treat, try this meditation exercise.

Now breathe!

Blessings

David
