Being Present

Discovered a new way this past week to be present:  enter the water - swimming pool is fine but salt water is better; turn over on your back; top of head facing into the waves, if applicable; legs and feet together, toes pointed; elongate the spine, gentle curve upward in the back; open your heart; arms at your side gently moving back and forth slowly in short strokes as required to keep your head above water; gaze gently upward; if outside, feel the gentle sun upon your soft visage; engage in your breathing exercises; let any thoughts drift away; become present.

It was the warm waters of the Mayan Riviera that helped this discovery!
