A day of quiet and reflection.
Yesterday was our annual bonfire day. The day broke cloudy but dry and so, Barry set off to start the fire up. It was a windy day and so the fire roared off well, if not a little random with the smoke distribution.
We are always astounded by the amount of firewood gathered throughout the year, how amazing and regenerative nature is. Off cuts, trimmings and choppings, all to make make space for new growth.
The day became brighter and the sun even came out.
Just enjoying the flames, the loading of the fire, the cracking and popping of the fire and of course watching the smoke became a bit like a meditation.
I wonder where do you like to meditate? And when would you consider you are in a meditation?
Meditation is not just about sitting with legs crossed, eyes shut and deeply meditating. Meditation can be watching the stream flow by, getting caught up in the clouds, cleaning your teeth with purpose or even just having a moment whilst taking a shower. What does the water feel like on my skin, can I smell the soap, what does the water sound like.
Having two minutes or thirty minutes of mediation will be beneficial to you. Help centre you, help bring your blood pressure back to a resting state and become more rested and clear of mind.
Enjoy your meditation and improve your health.
Many blessings
