Wiping the Stone – Restoring Balance
I had a pretty crumby day yesterday but throughout I had to put on a calm, positive face with a smile or two at the right moment.
It drained me both emotionally and mentally and since then I’ve been trying different a technique for clearing the mind of negative thoughts that impinging on my mind so that I can restore my balance.
Overnight my mind was trying to process something but this was stopping me from sleeping.
I imagined a large stone dripping with water, the water representing the negative thoughts. I could see myself wiping the stone clean and brushing everything to one side, putting it to the side until I was ready to think about it. Each time something impinged on my mind again I would wipe it away.
I fell asleep eventually and through the night continued to wipe the stone when I was roused by my subconscious.
It helped.
Are there any particular methods you use to clear the mind or wipe the stone?
Healing
A happy sound; the peel of laughter from a child
A smile that reaches up into the eyes
A warm embrace to keep you warm
A look that say more that words ever could
I breathe deep and feel the air fill my chest and feed my lungs
My heart pumps and by blood flows through corridors of rushing cells
I sleep knowing that when I wake, I will have healed
Brittle
Where lies the beating heart
Smooth and warm?
Beneath this skin and bone
Withered and brittle with age.
Touch
Flowers in the moonlight rise
Floating on a river of blood
Reach out to touch the gentle leaf
Breathe across the open lake
