Self: Nothing is working.
Crone Self: Have you tried unplugging?
Self: I don't plug in anywhere.
Crone Self: Yes you do, you're plugged into the world around you.
Self: OH, How do I unplug then?
Crone Self: Close your eyes, let your muscles relax & listen only to the sound of yourself breathing in & out. After a while, when you feel ready, plug back in & try again.
Crone = A woman who is venerated for experience, judgment, and wisdom.
Wise advice.

ReplyDeleteLove this! The breathing meditation is one of the first we are taught and it remains one of the easiest and hardest to do!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think it was about my 5 or 6th Pilates class that I realized that I never do deep breathing at home, and it clears this old mind just as effectively as the other movements clear out the kinks in this old bod. I need to do more of that everyday.
