There are many ways to
unwind the mind; and we probably know most of those. One of the easiest to do
is to take long deep breaths breathing in the universe and breathing out all
the dust that accumulates within. With each in-breath, feel the body expanding,
the knots unknotting until you cannot feel them anymore. Feel the tension of
the body lessen and lessen until it is light as a feather; a feather that is
floating away in the soft winds of a summer night under a million stars. Let the
weight upon your mind melt away like a snowflake in your hand; just melting
away. Close your eyes and let all that troubles you run off like water off a
mountain; trickling, splashing, dirty water cascading off of you. Even though
the problems don’t go away, they no longer are pressing down on you, on top of
you until you can’t breathe. Now you have your chi operating in clear water and
clear water means clarity.
