Sound when stretched is music.
Movement when stretched is dance.
Mind when stretched is meditation.

To day I worked on the third line.
I have a demonstration tape from Holosync. You listen to the rain and
crystal bells for about twenty minutes. You enter a deep state of meditation.
I hadn’t listened to it for a while. This morning I found myself straining against
time.
I do this form time to time.That’s when I need something to pull me out of time,so the reality of the illusion of time is restored.This DVD is perfect for that. The track runs for about twenty minutes but you are never sure how long
you have been sitting there, eyes closed, listening to it.
When I finished the DVD I felt so relaxed. Time as an issue disappeared. Instead I now had the time to sit reading a very long blog about what “Awakening is or isn’t”.
All fascinating stuff.
But time races on…at least in our daily lives. Days and nights flash by, and speed up with age or that is what we
are told.
We seldom stop in our harried ways, to pause and reflect upon our lives. But we need to stop, bring it all to a screeching halt at some point in our day, and give way to the eternal presence that sits outside of time.
On Tools to Life, a self development course I took sometime ago now, one of our daily routines was to stop and smell the flowers, quite literally. We were encouraged to always have a banquet of flowers in the house just for this purpose.
It’s a great idea and one I suggest you adopt. Adding beauty and grace into your life, seems to create a natural brake against the flow of time. But you need something more.You need that time to let go and
stretch into the music,into the dance, into meditation, and into the celebration of all.
Just let go for a moment. You can do it. Let go!
Have a beautiful peaceful Tuesday. Stop to smell the flowers, even if it’s only at a road side stand.
