SPRING BOARD (MAY 2010)

Hello dear friends, apologies for not writing sooner. Today I am doing an exercise which I have taken the liberty of calling SPRINGBOARD. It was inspired by Malcolm’s kind reminder to write another blog on this wonderful and inspiring website. I was going down a road, at 100 miles per hour, in the opposite direction of where it is I want to be. And where I want to be is here, now, in the moment. So in a second I made the decision to stop and springboard to now.
(I might have confused you but lately I was reminded that the beauty of Shakespeare’s poetry lies beneath the obvious meaning of the words so Im asking you to make a little bit of a mind exercise and fascinate yourselves by discovering what im getting at).

And what does now bring to me? Im doing this exercise as I write.
I am consider myself lucky in knowing ways which can help me be more present with my mind and all my being. I am acknowledging that even with all this awareness I slip. I am recalling how it feels when I do so. The sensation is one of a brain being fried. And I am feeling very frustrated and unhappy at this and today it is showing in my face because I am allowing it as I am at home, Yesterday or this evening, when im out and about, I might not appear so. My head feels like a hot pot on a burning flame with popcorn inside, shooting up to the lid in darkness. I think you get the picture. So what am I going to do?
Naturally I start asking myself questions. How did this happen? Why did I allow it to when I know how not to? The answer: not because I do not know how not to let it happen, nor because im not blessed with people who remind me but because I stop practicing.
So i springboard from being aware to practicing. I know what makes me happy, I know where i feel the most comfortable so what is the missing link? Practice. At school we use to learn that practice makes perfect. In today’s day and age we cannot just practice for perfection but we must practice in order to remain sane, healthy and happy. Meditation helps a lot but for those of you who use other practices that help them be in the moment as much as possible throughout their day please do so because I believe this is when we are living. I practice Yoga and meditation and for the rest of that day, the quality of my thoughts, of my breath, of my actions and of my being, is so much more pleasing and fulfilling. So let’s practice and if you don t know where to start from just springboard into it.
