Healing Every Day

Take Your Time Take care on this day, as it is your life. Welcome to this wonderland, the land of opportunity in which wonders happen every day and the great secret of life reveals itself. Do you sense the sunrise, whose rays are caressing you carefully? Do you enlighten your midday with clarity, power, and awareness? Do you worship the width of the starry heavens, which opens your soul? Fulfill your wonderful body with the magic of the day and the magic of the night until it shines, beams, and twinkles like a diamond that breaks the rhythm of time in the colors of the rainbow. Experience how it reveals its knowledge about healing, luck, wholeness, closeness, harmony, and balance, until you know, feel, and intuit the power of time—transformed, fulfilled, creative and always whole. Awake for this very moment! In this way you can dream about your day and enlighten your night. What are you doing right now? Surely you are reading this book! Maybe you want to put it down right now, thinking that you have to do something better. You don’t have the time! However, maybe you are also fascinated by a particular curiosity, and this is what keeps you reading. I wish you the enthusiasm for the whole width, depth, and fullness of this moment, and I hope that you have the feeling of a home in time that you can trust. I imagine you as happy, healthy, and open for all the wonders of the world and the magic of time. Right now? In this moment? Yes, now! Pause for a moment. Look around. Where are you? In a bookshop? At home on the sofa? Or in the middle of a colorful meadow? Have a look at the sun. Do you sense the rays tickling your skin? Or do you breathe in the smell of boiling tea? Do you drink the colorful world of pictures of the four seasons? Do you internalize your life? Do you want to externalize your existence? Maybe you know the following story: A wise man was said curiously, “You are very busy, but you’re always concentrated. What is your secret?” He answered directly and clear. “If I stand, I stand. If I go, I go. If I sit, I sit. If I eat, I eat. If I speak, I speak.” He was interrupted hastily. “We do the same thing. Why are you lucky with all that and we are not?” The wise man remarked, “Maybe this is the reason. If you stand, you are already walking. When you walk, you are already running. When you run, you are already at the goal.” What about you? Are you already planning your next duty while you are reading these words? Are you brooding over your past, or are you looking anxiously into your future? Are you here in this moment or somewhere else or even nowhere? You are breathing—that’s for sure. Your heart is beating. Your wonderful body is metabolizing within one hundred thousand biochemical processes a second. And while you are reading this, every thought, sensation, and attitude is having an impact on the biochemistry of your blood, on the neuronal network in your brain, on your mood, on your posture, on your environment, and even on the unfathomable depths of this world. What is happening in your spirit is echoing throughout the whole universe. That is what the Tibetans already knew. Please shut your eyes. Allow pictures, colors, and sensations to arise in your thoughts. Visualize how they flood your whole body, emerge from it, and waft around the earth until they apparently (but only apparently) get lost in space. Every one of your sensations changes and shapes your life, those of your loved ones, and last but not least the life of mankind. “What a responsibility!” you might moan. Yes, what a great responsibility, but also, what a chance! Stop for a moment. Please close your eyes. Breathe out. Liberate yourself from all that is old, unnecessary, painful, agonizing, and dark. Breathe out. What do you experience in this very moment? What is now? How does this moment smell and taste? How does it feel? How does it look? How does it sound? On what do you concentrate your attention? What meaning do you give these sensations? Stop for a moment. Who are you? Whom or what are you observing in this period of time? When you can watch this moment then you are more than this blink of an eye. Who are you? Stop for a moment. Where do you want to go? What kind of sensations would you like to create? How do you want to create your presence and determine the course for your future? Stop for a moment. Breathe out the fears of the past and the worries of the future. Breathe in freedom. Experience yourself in the center of these blissful visions. Relax in the very midst of them.
