[...] Take advantage of in-between times (i.e. sneak an important two-minute call between appointments, take a few minutes for micro-meditation moments). [...]

Hi Belinda! This was awesome… I could hear the bird and smell the orange. Yes, this instantaneously connected world of big ideas and fast changing hands is enough to make one’s head spin if you try to hard to grasp it all. Plus, the invention of things that speed things up to make life “easier” actually keep us busier, hectic, and give us more to do. Which, when you think about it, really isn’t so easy after all.

And your closing poetic thought… that was powerful. Pulled in every direction, having to be everywhere, where “the details are soulless” and the “demands are relentless”… really, really powerful. It’s still reverberating… I’ll definitely be coming back to it.

Thanks for sharing this with me.

Cheers,
Miche

Wow, Belinda — I’m so glad you found me so I could find you! I love the concept of micro-meditation — something I’ve done all my life, just didn’t have a name for it. I think we can all find sweet, quiet moments in our day: washing dishes, raking leaves, that first cup of coffee. I remember stealing these short times when I was working and raising three children, and those moments were my lifeline.

My favorite time is in the garden, and from March through October that’s where I am all day every day because it’s my JOB, how awesome is that! Yep, kids are grown, I’m having MY TIME now. OK, gotta go, got lots of your site to explore

Dearest Belinda,

I am like Patty and loved the alliteration in this post. The message also. My micro meditation moments usually in the form of late night walks alone, where I can smell every flower, observe every piece of the sky, and feel each breath moving in and out of my lungs.

Thank you once more.

In keeping up with this crazy world idolizing gadgets and machines that compress space enabling creatures, man and beasts, to be in far-away places virtually or physically we neglect or forget the more important things in life.

In my daily walks around my neighborhood I create plans in my mind when and how I could meet with people who have been part of my life in years past, my loved ones I seldom see or have not seen for a long time, friends and relatives, recalling times with them filled with laughter and hugs. That is my kind of meditation. . . . it makes me smile.

Wow, Belinda, you’ve got some awesome alliteration going here. I agree with everything you say. I have many micro meditation moments available to me, like a few strokes of my cat’s fur, a brief dance to my favorite song, savoring the smell of a cup of coffee. But the problem is, I don’t always take them. So thanks for the reminder. And as important as they are, I do also need the big unplug, as often as I can get it.

At the end of the day every big thing we must face is a collection of small things. When we become overwhelmed it pays to step closer and look at the small parts that make up the big picture. Dealing with each element of the problem on it’s own level can be more productive then facing the situation head on.

Hey Belinda,

Focusing on the small and the details can change dramatically the way we see the big picture. When I become more aware of the small things, and I realize the big ones are all small things multiplied, it creates a shift in thinking and in state.
