#58 - Brain Break

Have you ever caught yourself driving along in the car, windows down, hair blowing in the wind, belting out the song on the radio?  What about getting lost in thought as you walk down a path hearing only the sounds made when your feet hit the ground?  Take it even one step further, how about when sitting or walking on a beach, hearing nothing but the waves and maybe an occasional bird overhead?  Those are the moments that I love.  Those moments when you get absolutely lost in time, having not a care in the world.
 
I think that more of these moments are needed.  More time to just not think, to relax in the moment and just be.  I am hoping to find more of these moments in the coming week as I remove myself from my current situation, get away from the office and really just get back in touch with me again.  As I get older, I find that this to be more of a requirement.  My mind spins as such a crazy speed, with all the work and life events getting caught in the whirlwinds, ever intertwined making me feel exhausted a lot of the time.  Time to release those things which hold me down and soar.  Stop spinning and just blow through the trees, through the fields, stop spinning and just ride the wave of wind and see where it takes me.


To take flight like the seed of a dandelion flower, landing wherever the wind decides to slow and release me.  How wonderful a thought, a feeling of almost pure freedom, only being held by the wind.  Oh the things one could see and experience during a flight.

The nice thing is that if you learn the art of meditation or self hypnosis, you can experience these types of travels, of releases of energy, of brain breaks that really give you a sense of peace.  Personally I have been able to experience many of these in recent months, working on mastering them more and more as the effects on my body and mind are astounding.  A calming sensation that has begun to change who I am, how I react to situations, and what I truly care about.  The thought of don't sweat the small stuff come to mind often, not that I have read the book, but that the comment makes such sense in itself.  Through the use of meditation and hypnosis I see so much more as small stuff, things that don't seem to matter nearly as much to me as they have in the past.  Those things which are important held close, the rest left to float away in the wind.

Well, time to put this away for the day and go complete my last day of daily grind before a week of sheer bliss.
