I am traveling
through life and something
happens and I
wander.
Unaware that I
have wandered, I can
wander further and further
away from center and
balance.
Wandering, itself, is both
natural and necessary.
If I were to stop my mind
from wandering, I might lose
the gifts of insight,
intuition and creativity.
So, the problem is
not the wandering, it
is being so caught up in
it that you are unaware
that you have wandered
far from center and
balance.
And when you are living
off-center you simply do
not function as well as
you might imagine,
because you are out of
sync with life.
To recover from this
archetypal challenge
requires two things:

A METHOD FOR RETURN OR
RECOVERY
|
The
method
we
will
use to recover from this
everyday challenge has
four steps.
Step 1 is to activate
the magnetic pull of
here and now. This
way you can be drawn
back naturally.
This method not only
requires less effort
than trying to bring
yourself back on purpose
but it also makes it
easier to remember what
you discovered on your
journey.
As you move closer to
the here and now, you
can more clearly tune
into what you are
feeling. This
second step helps
strengthen the bridge
between your imagination
and the concrete
world.
From this more grounded
and open-hearted state
you can now look around
to notice what is going
on around you.
This is Step 3.
The final step is to use
your breath to get into
sync with the moment –
with the flow of what
you are
doing.

Make this Real in
your Life
|
- Develop the habit of
pausing in the midst of
your daily life to ask
yourself if you are,
perhaps, Mind-Wandering.
If so, then go
through the four steps
above and then return to
what you are doing.
- Lower your judgment
threshold and look for
the signs that you might
be approaching
Mind-Wandering - but not
there yet.
If so, then go
through the four steps
above and then return to
what you are doing.
