Slowing Down: Stabilising Attention

A mind free of worry, hangups and cravings allows us to go back to our true original being, one that is feels whole, at peace, joyfully curious and unencumbered. We use the breath, chest and abdomen to fill our awareness as we breath and cultivate stability and freedom.

Half Life, The Prophet, by Khalil Gibran (extract)

Do not live half a lifeĀ 
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finishedĀ 
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about itĀ 
for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
You are a whole that exists to live a life,
not half a life.”
