Preparation

I started reading Paolo Coelho, Pilgrimage in preparation.

I chanced upon nice quote:
“You don’t have to climb a mountain to find out whether or not it’s high.”
“The ship is safest when it’s in port, but that’s not what ships were built for,”

The Seed Exercise Kneel on the ground. Then seat yourself on your heels and bend forward so that your head touches your knees. Stretch your arms behind you. You are now in a fetal position. Relax, releasing all of your tensions. Breathe calmly and deeply. Little by little you will perceive that you are a tiny seed, cradled in the comfort of the earth. Everything around you is warm and delicious. You are in a deep, restful sleep. • Suddenly, a finger moves. The shoot no longer wants to be a seed; it wants to grow. Slowly you begin to move your arms, and then your body will begin to rise, straightening up until you are seated on your heels. Now you begin to lift your body up, and slowly, slowly you become erect, still kneeling on the ground.もっと詳しく
