Give Yourself Some Space

October 17, 2016 by Julie Lusk

Out for a walk the other night, I was stunned to see how groups of people were all looking at their phones instead of talking with each other, let alone noticing the brilliant sunset.  Even the bikers were glued to their devices while riding their bikes.  I was surprised that people weren’t crashing into one another. More folks were glued to their screens at the restaurant too.  We all know that too many people text while driving – another recipe for disaster.

Living in a fast-paced 24/7 world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.  We’re pushed to work harder, take care of our family, and keep up with current events along with a constant social media stream. clockExpectations are high all the way around.

Pico Iyer, a lifelong travel writer says ““In an age of acceleration, nothing can be more exhilarating than going slow. And in an age of distraction, nothing is so luxurious as paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is so urgent as sitting still.”

His Ted Talk video is well worth watching.  It will inspire you with ways to take back your time in ways that will replenish your body, mind and soul.

https://www.ted.com/talks/pico_iyer_the_art_of_stillness?utm_source=tedcomshare&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=tedspread

Why not take a few moments out right now?  Here’s how …

  1.  Turn your phone, TV, radio and other electronic devices off for a while.
  2.  Focus your attention on the moment by breathing fully and mindfully.  It is calming and refreshing for your nerves and it will light up your energy.  Try out yoga’s ocean-sounding breath (ujjaya breath).
  3. Blink your eyes a bunch of times till they water.  The moisture will help your vision.
  4. Yawn.  It cools the brain, gives you a burst of oxygen, and refreshes your eyesight and hearing.  If you’re lucky, you’ll catch some flies.
  5. Take a “2-hour nap in less than 1o minutes.“
  6. Give “The Inner Eye of Awareness Meditation” a shot.
  7. Add your own ___________________________.
  8. Bone up on mindfulness.  It’s easy with this “Stop ~~ Look ~~ Listen”  meditation.
  9. You guessed it, practice yoga nidra – yogic sleep. It’s totally replenishing. Experience yoga nidra at a virtual class with Julie Lusk, author of Yoga Nidra Meditations and 5 more books and dozens of recordings.

Stop ~~ Look ~~ Listen

October 17, 2012 by Julie Lusk

It’s the fall where I live and the trees are bright with color, the air is crisp and feels delightfully cool.  Too bad I’ve been too busy to really notice it.

Luckily I came across a quote from Ferris Bueller.  He says, “Life moves pretty fast.  If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  Not only did that become the reading and theme for yoga class, it inspired me to take the afternoon off and enjoy the fall beauty.

Here’s a quote from Nathaniel Hawthorne who said “I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.”

How about you?  Have you been buzzing through life and missing out on what’s important?  It will do you some real good to take some time out.  It doesn’t even have to take much time.  Remember, even a 5 minute break really helps.                  

Here’s a mini-meditation from my Mind-Body Mastery eBook that can be done anytime and anywhere.  Your awareness will increase and it will settle your mind down and clear your head.

Stop – Look – Listen  Mini-Meditation

  1. Stop – Notice your posture . . . breath . . . energy level . . . mood . . . mental activity.
  2. Look – Blink your eyes several times.  Look at something far away and discover the details in what you see.  Blink again.
    Look at something close up.  Discover the details.
  3. Listen – Listen to sounds come and go.  Simply observe without judging.  No resistance.  No clinging.  Simply listen.
  4. Smile.

 Get the Mind-Body Mastery eBook here if you like mini-meditations and quick and easy relaxation exercises.
