Woolgathering: having no goal in mind - preview
Ian Wright discusses the importance of centring down for our own peace of mind
Stop what you’re doing, now Put this magazine down, turn off the radio or television and just sit comfortably You don’t have to sit in any particular way though the straighter your back the easier it is to breathe deeply However, there is no particular way to breathe either Just do what feels right for you Just be in this moment Come at last to this peaceful place Feel the pull of your breath through your nose The monk Thomas Keating wrote that silence is the closest we can ever get to God How good is that then? Just in this moment, this peaceful moment
