But it is that time of the year.

You can be Christmasy if you like. You can get into the whirlwind and the speed and the expectations if you choose. And be excited.

You might notice the extra traffic, the pushing in, the queues, the impatience, the functions

You might rant and complain.

But under all that, what is taking place in your body?

If you bring yourself back into you – I know……………………. you haven’t got time, you might miss something. And you might not meet expectations (yours and theirs). And you might not figure out what you need to do.

Actually, there is plenty of time. Time is a strange thing, have you noticed that sometimes time stretches and other times, it rushes. How come?

Maybe you can change your perspective on time and give a bit of it to you. I’m not meaning to book a massage, as nice as that would be. But how about a moment here and a moment there. When you are boiling the jug, or waiting in the car, or before bed, or in that queue.

A moment to acknowledge and notice you.

So what is going on in your body? Notice which parts are a bit tense and then notice which parts are relaxed. Maybe you thought you were all tense but now you discover that there are some parts that are relaxed.

Try an experiment – give permission to all parts of your body to be as they are – tense, relaxed, quivering, tight, heavy. Let them be. Your mind might want to know why. Your mind might want to fix. Your mind might get in a tangle.

Let them be. And be quiet for a moment.

Notice what takes place.



Mere Kirihimete. Best wishes for the Christmas time to be exactly how you would like it to be
