TIME FOR A LITTLE MEDITATION

  Article excerpted from Hipsterama.com

A few mornings ago, I found frost on my car windows for the first time this year. I lamented the fact that I wasn’t wearing gloves to protect me from the icy cold steering wheel. Once the car finally heated up, I had to endure hot, dry air blowing on my flaking cheeks just to defrost the windshield.

Time for a little meditation…

Imagine you are getting ready to go out on the town on a Friday evening. It is spring – late May. you choose a white dress that has a lot of movement – the kind of dress that makes men ask you to dance. And to finish this light and airy look, you fasten a pair of uber-feminine, uber-high heels to your perfectly manicured feet.

You and your date stroll down the city streets past people sitting outside sipping brightly colored drinks. and everyone notices you, and everyone compliments your beautiful shoes…

and breathe…

Practice this meditation daily as you stand on the frozen train platform, your back against the piercing wind, waiting for your morning commuter in the pre-dawn darkness.
