STOP!!!!

BUSY... BUSY BUSY BUSY...................BUSY.............. GO GO GO GO.. GO ..... GO GO......

Hmm sounds familiar??? Well thats how some of us are... we never STOP! Have you ever stood up and just watch people, especially those going onto work? They are rushing and pushing, and trying to not miss the bus or they are driving in their cars and they are stuck in traffic and because they can't move at the speed they want they become anxious and discomforted and the roaring dragon comes out and they.. 'honk' the horn and begin to curse "you move your !@##%% car" ( lol ) and become all sweaty, they heart races.... boom Boom BOom BOOM.. (lol) and then when they arive at work, guess what? They ain't no use to anyone. But soon after that, they are at it again.. Work Work Work.. GO GO GO!!!

Hmmm STOP!!!

This continuous cycle of constantly being on the move is soooo not good for the health. When was the last time you actually stopped and stood up and realised what was around you? Bet you didnt realise that bird singing in the tree along that path you walk every morning? Bet you didnt realise that sweet old lady sitting in her veranda next to the road you take each morning? Oops watch out!!!! A Child is crossing the road. Hmmm. People we need to stop! for a moment.

Meditation and reflection are two practises which I do daily and I mean daily. These two techniques help me to stop, think, reflect and take in the beauty that is around me. I would often when on a bus or in any moving vehicle simply just admire what's around me (I'm not the driver ofcourse) and as I do that I begin to develop an appreciation for creation, the trees, the sky and especially for people. Could you rememeber when you really took a deeeep breadth of air?? Uh? I mean a real one, I don't mean one when you are tired and fagged out due to your ongoing cycle of rushing. I mean a deep breadth taken during your time of simply stopping. You have got to try it, air never smelt so good, nature never felt so comforting and people were never so warm. Ahhhh :)

Today for a moment or two I just want you to STOP! Forget for about 5 minutes what you have to do (or think you have to do) I'm sure the world will move on without you. And just relax, rest, listen to your heart beat.. yes you are still alive?? I bet you've missed that heart beat. Listen to the birds, the wind blowing through the trees, look at the sky blue sky or even at the grey. Relax, be at peace, rest... STOP!

You do this everyday and stress will erode away. I am so serious. The earth was created for much more than just to be used in our stressful erroneous activities. It was also made to give us pleasure, and to admire it's beauty. Sadly sometimes people only realise the earth when there is a natural disaster. It's sad the earth would have to use such tactics to get your attention. I'm sure if we were more aware of the earth, then we'd realise alot of that is going on with it much sooner.

STOP! RELAX! BE AT PEACE!
