GOOD MORNING!
Well it is 9:00 A.M. in Chicago, snow on the ground and it is about 30 degrees, sounds like a perfect setting to continue our Spiritual Journey. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr you are probably thinking what could be less conducive for getting into a spiritual mode, but when you think about, this is exactly the metaphor I have been writing about.
Anyone can be focused, spiritual and motivated when you live in a warm, beautiful and green paradise, it is even worth noting that these places are exactly where you should be. Guess what, most of us don't live in paradise, we can only visualize this spiritual Nirvana. Now you are getting it, you don't have to be anywhere physically, you can take that trip anytime or anywhere you are. In fact, I would posit that the people that need visualization are often the people we know who are in Florida, California or Arizona.
So here is what you do, and this is a time tested method used by the experts, not necessarily my own invention, but I heard about this and it works. Find a nice comfortable place, or room where you live, set yourself down, take off your shoes or even your socks, place your arms on the arms of the chair, take in 3 deep breathes, let your body relax, close your eyes, you have a candle burning if you like, look at the inside of your eyelids, and continue to breathe. Listen to your breath, watch your breath, in and out, in and out. Let everything go blank, if you have trouble focusing, just listen, listen ever so closely to your breath.
Relax, breath, focus, let the top of your head, your finger tips and the ends of your toes just let out the pressure. Watch the stress just leave, watch it flow away. Try this for 15 minutes a day, make your Spiritual snack time, just put aside this moment for you, believe me everyone around you will see the difference and soon they will want to emulate it. Try it for yourself, don't just dismiss it.
Have a joyful day,
Robb
