Tools for the Journey
My new seven-part series, Living in the Richness of
the Moment, is designed to help you start living in the richness of the
moment. Right now. With this breath. The focus of the series is on
learning how to spend more time on the heart-centered present, even in
the midst of your busy life.
Whether or not you have already read my book,
Seven Sacred
Attitudes®, this series of articles is designed for you -- a person
who is passionate about life and wants to drink in every luscious
moment.
Living in the Richness of the Moment™ Part One: Come to Your Senses
Your body is talking. Are you listening? Not to your mind and all you think
about your body and what you
should do for it, but to your body itself? Your body has much to say.
Every moment. Right now, as you read this, can you come to your senses and
access your inner wisdom? What is your body saying at this moment?
Accessing the inner wisdom of your body takes practice. "Practice?" you say.
"Another 'To Do'? I don't have time for everything on my plate as it is right
now." Well, the practice of listening to the inner wisdom of your body doesn’t
require that you
do anything else -- no new activity to schedule in your day -- but it does
require that you shift your
attention.
Try this: Choose one activity that you will be doing anyway today -- preferably
an activity you do outdoors. Decide to place your full attention on your body
during this activity. Even if you use outdoor activities or exercise time for
creative thinking and problem-solving, do something different today.
Place your attention on your body's experience of the activity. Start
small. Start with 10 minutes where you will pay attention. Not to your mind
where the stories live -- "Oh, I wish I could get this power-walk or run over
with" -- but pay attention and stay present to your body. Take your mind off of
the mental "To-Do-list" chatter and come to your senses!
Your body lives in this moment. It breathes now. Notice it in action. Discover
what it has to tell you about
this activity on this day for these 10 minutes. Print this
list out and use it to guide you:
- Notice your breath.
- Notice the air against your neck.
- If you're swimming, notice the water against your muscles. Notice the
sensation of the water against your face.
- Focus on the muscles in your legs as you walk, jog, bike-ride or swim or
even if you use a walker or wheelchair.
- Switch focus and pay attention to your arm muscles.
- If you're at the computer, notice your shoulders, neck and brow.
- Whether indoors or out, notice the sensation of your clothing against your
skin.
- Notice the rhythm of your breath.
- Pay attention to the sensation of your breath as it enters and leaves
your nose.
- Pay attention to the sound of your breath as you jog, sit, or exhale
into the water of the pool.
- Keep your focus on your body and your senses.
- Notice what your body is telling you.
- What do you learn from coming to your senses?
And try this: If you usually walk, swim or run for a certain distance or
a certain time period, put away the timer, pedometer or lap-counting routine for
today. Use your
body as the barometer for a change. Without a watch or measuring
distance, let your body tell you when it is done or tired.
If you usually sit at the computer until you have gone through all the
email, written
every response and use 'being done with the task' to dictate when you are
finished, go ahead and set a timer for 10 minutes today. Stop when the alarm
goes off and check in again with your breath, shoulders, head and neck. What is your body saying right now?
Is there something you have been pretending not to know?
We have been given the power to direct our attention wherever we want. Today,
place it on your body.
See how it goes.
Just for today.
