Now and Zen…..
by Sunil Bali, Chief Energy Officer, 13-11-11
Take any item that you can catch, be it a bunch of keys, a piece of fruit, a coin, or anything small.
Now relax, throw the item in the air to at least your eye line or higher, and catch it.
Do this now, before you read the rest of this column. It will only take a few seconds.
After you’ve caught the item, ask yourself what you were thinking when the item was in the air.
It wasn’t anything to do with work was it?
It wasn’t worrying about money?
It wasn’t worrying about what you should have eaten?
It wasn’t worrying about what you need to do?
At the moment the object was in the air you were in a state of pure awareness; you were in the present moment, completely focussed on the object…..a moment of instant Zen.
May your life be filled with such moments.

There were three Indian squaws.
One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin.
All three became pregnant.
The first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys.
This just goes to prove that… the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.
Just in case you need a little help……Pythagoras? Albeit with a little poetic licence.
To your success,
Sunil
