Today I took some time out from my chattering mind and sat by the canal, just watching other people go about there day and allowing myself to have no thoughts, none, nada, not one, wow how difficult is that?
I only managed stillness on the odd ocassion as the mind always wanted to think something about what I was gazing at even if it is just an observation about looking at a person.
It was an amazing process, and revealed an awful lot about myself and how others are.
Then I thought, oh there I go again thinking!
What if I throw a thought in the way of a question out to a complete stranger, just to see what happens, and then I remembered what an Aboriginal had taught me - when you throw a boomerang out it will come back to you. But I was really interested to see the response of the stranger to whom I had randomly thrown a question to about something going on in my life currently, which to date I have not come to a conclusion or answer about.
My theory behind using a complete stranger was to see their response as they are not emotionally involved in the process or experience, and it was really interesting.
Having had that experience, I decided to continue on my journey to explore for the truth and answer if there was one even.
So off I went again to another place, to continue my game but this time watching out for universal answers to my question.
I saw two swans, loads of butterflies which were all extremely close to me, ducks, swallows, and a buzzard. Now the buzzard was the one which really caught my attention as it was flying so low over my head I could see its eyes, this is very unusual for a buzzard. So I knew that this was symbolic to my answer.
Even the experience helped me remember so much about what I love about life, and then something else got my attention.
I was walking very slowly by the canal, and a little girl no more than 5 years old ran in front of me, stopped dead and looked me up and down, and then ran off. It was the most bizarre thing, as it was so accurately done there was no mistaking the experience for anything other than what it was. Her mother passed me seconds later and looked as me apogising like there was no tomorrow. First thought was I wondered the reason she felt the need to apologise and that was clear she felt so embarassed about the way the inocent little girl had stared me up and down.
I laughed and thought it really amazing, but there was a very strong message there for me personally and I got it. Sorry too personal to share with you at this stage.
Wow so what a truly amazing day, the message of buzzard which again is personal to me and therefore only I will understand its meaning, hence no explanation, and then the little girl.
The reason I am saying all this too you is to allow you to see that there are always signposts and directions for things happening in your own life if you just wake up and look for them.
All this from my morning statement of "Wow I am having a fantastic day" and clapping my hands before I get out of bed.
Setting my day up for amazing fantastic experiences to happen all around me, and for me to be observant enough to get them. So amazing.
Try it, if it does not happen the first time just do it again and again and eventually like anything it will become more natural and familiar to you. Enjoy.
