The sunset drenches the world in amazing colours, the birds grow unusually quiet, it is the time to silence the mind.
I balance myself on two stools overlooking a tiny valley, the sun is my goddess her beauty is mercerising.
I move my body into the ancient yoga pose called Trikonasana , I can feel the last rays of sun pierce my open heart, I am filled with gratitude and feel an enormous freedom travel through my spirit.
I make peace with myself, ” I may make mistakes and I am not perfect “, but my intentions are always geniune to do the best I can and treat people they way I would like to be treated.
Within a few precious seconds the greatness of the sun seems ,almost like it breaks through my physical form to release a feeling of lightness and self forgiveness.
As the last light is absorbed by the earthy hills, a smile grows in my heart and I am at peace ready to shine with the morning sun to be fresh with the first light to be enthusiastic with a new day! The sun is my healer!
In the blink of an eye the moment is gone. The many moments in one person’s life could create a very long story.
How do we stop the mind from jumping ahead instead of stopping in the moment??
There are a few things which can help train the mind to let go and allow you to immerse yourself in the moment.
Her are just two ideas you can use:
Focus on you’re breathing, you can count 2 on your inhale breath and 4 on your exhale breath, every time the mind wanders bring yourself back to the rhythm of the breathing.
Another idea to help let go of your thoughts and immerse yourself in the moment is by staring into a beautiful sunset or sunrise ,it can be mesmerising and it feels like it is seeping into your soul.
Both of these suggestions will bring a calmness to the central nervous system ,this will turn your thought patterns down making it easier to stop and absorb your environment and really feel your body on the earth and the amazing life/energy within your body.
