May 03 … Re-Focusing on the Moment
This morning, stare into the center of a flower (preferably a rose) for 30 seconds. Throughout the day thereafter, pause at least once each hour, find a different item, and repeat this 30 second re-Focusing … This evening, light a candle at home and stare into the space between the wick & the flame for 30 seconds. Finally, before going to bed, pause for 30 seconds in front of a mirror and stare into your own pupil … Attempt to extend each of these altered States of Being until you feel Calm within – and thereby exude Calm to others nearby.
Bonus Activity: Find a friend or an associate (or even a stranger) willing to enliven this exercise with you, and do so by staring into each other’s pupil(s) for the 30 seconds.
