Set aside 15 to 20 minutes (or longer if youd like). Turn off your phone and all other devices. Go to a relatively quiet place that includes some natural beauty: a park, a garden, a courtyard, a forest meadow, or your own backyard. Now, without any plan or premeditated destination, simply begin wandering. Let yourself be drawn naturally from place to place, guided by your interest in the moment or your intuition. Let yourself walk for the simple pleasure of walking rather than as a means to a destination. One of Taoisms essential insights is that the microcosm of our human body-mind is a mirror image of the macrocosm of the entire cosmos. Sit quietly, breathe, and appreciate the fact that your bodys existence depends on drawing air in from the external environment and releasing air back into the environment. Reflect on the fact that your body also depends on the water that you drink and the plants and animals that you ingest as food.The elements comprising your body are the very same elements that comprise rivers and mountains, trees and clouds and galaxies. Appreciate this deeply as you move through your day. This simple exercise will support you in accessing vibrant, fertile emptiness. Whenever youd like, make a conscious decision to notice the space between objects more than the objects themselves. Let the objects shift to the background and tune in to the space instead. Notice how this transforms your experience. Then, try the same thing with the internal objects of your thoughts. Can you tune in to the silent gaps between the words, phrases, and sentences comprising your minds internal chatter? Read more
