Flow Out Easy

In The Alchemist, Paul Coelho writes, “In order to find the treasure, you will have to follow the omens. God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you.”

 I am realizing that there have been, and continue to be, signs along my way.  Perhaps, in my stories, there will be signs useful to you, too.  Perhaps you will notice helpful signs in your own life, and find yourself appreciative and grateful.

 When I was 14 years old, I walked through my neighborhood on a beautiful, airy spring day.  Enjoying the sunshine, fresh leaves and flowers, and gentle breeze, a marvelous feeling of peace and joy arose within me.

 Arriving home, I took up pen and paper and wrote this down.
At the time, I knew nothing of mindfulness and meditation, yet this was my experience.
Flow Out Easy 

let your mind out free
Stand under the sky 
see what you see
hear what you hear 
feel what you feel 
breathe in the scents
Let the wind run through you 
and clean you out 
let your mind move to the sound of your breathing 
move to the feel of your breathing...
slowly it leaves the space in your head 
you are lighter 
slowly it leaks out through your eyes 
through your ears 
through your fingers and your feet...
let it go.
flow out easy...
It mingles with the world 
becomes one with the world 
blows over and around the world like the wind 
binds you to the earth and pulls you to the sky 
to the top of the sky 
blows farther and farther out till it meets itself 
flows together and clothes the world like air 
you and all are one and everything is bound to you 
you are the center and you know the world 
flow out easy...

Lead with your heart

In high school physical education classes, we did exercises to limber up.  Sitting on the gym floor or the field, with legs extended, we were coached to do repeated forward bends.  The prompt was, “Kiss your knees.” In yoga practice, we sit on our mats, with legs extended, and do forward bends.  The prompt is, “Fold from the hips, leading with your chest.” The spine is to remain straight.  No knee-kissing! Leading with the chest is leading with the heart.  Many yoga postures are designed to open up the heart, the center of compassion. It takes confidence to go through the day with an open heart.  At the postural level, it requires holding the body in a particular way. To prompt proper alignment for postures, yoga instructors will say, “Move your shoulders away from your ears.” In standing postures, they advise, “Lower your shoulders!” or use the metaphor,  “Tuck your shoulder blades into your back pockets.” In practice, and during my day, I b...

Three-Legged Chair

The focus of this blog is how a practice of yoga, meditation, or kindred discipline is of benefit. The effectiveness of these practices is well-supported by research.  I also believe strongly in other resources strongly supported by research, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication prescribed by a competent psychiatrist.  I do not discuss these latter resources herein, but they are valid and valuable. I am a psychologist, after all. These are the three legs of a stable chair. Where one starts - spiritual practice, therapy, medication - depends on the individual and situation.

Create an Oasis

The Oxford English Dictionary defines “oasis” as “a  pleasant or peaceful area or period in the midst of a difficult or hectic place or situation.”  So, my yoga mat or meditation cushion is an oasis. I’ve found it helpful to create additional peaceful places. One is my pillow, at bedtime.  As an oasis, my pillow is a place where my mind is not permitted to work or to worry.  If my mind wishes to be active, it must choose pleasant or neutral things.    A walk can be an oasis.  Thich Nhat Hanh describes mindful walking, whereby you “make a contract” with a particular distance you walk every day, such as a staircase or a hallway. “Vow that when you walk that distance every step will be solid and mindful; otherwise you will go back and do it again.  He advises, “Walk with your feet, not with your head.” My workday provides many opportunities to practice this.  I walk to and from my office to various destinations throughout the day.  Si...
