The mindfulness challenge this week is to become more aware of your center. By this I mean your center of gravity. This particular mindfulness practice will yield immeasurable returns if you are currently struggling with balance or mobility problems. No medicines are required. No visits to healthcare practitioners are necessary. The treatment is free and offers benefits which are immediate.
This is an exercise for everyone even if you are not currently experiencing mobility challenges. Athletic superstars are intimately connected with the center of their gravity. Ballerinas, performers and all other individuals who have to be physical in all respects know where the center of their gravity is.
I suspect you are well aware that the center of gravity is not at the tip of your little finger or the tip of your little toe. It is certainly not at the extremities of your body and it is certainly not in our head (which is where many of us prefer to hang out all the time). The center of gravity actually resides for most people a couple of inches below their belly button. This place has a name called the tan tien. It is a point in the body that does not have an affiliation or an identity with any specific organ like a heart or a lung; it is an energetic place in everyone’s physical body.
Martial artists are very familiar with this place known as the tan tien for it is where their power resides. I suspect many of you have seen martial artists swaying a person from one corner of a room to the other by the flip of their finger. How do they do that? They don’t do it by the strength of their finger. They accomplish such an amazing feat by marshaling a power that resides from this place of the tan tien. It is the source of all martial art’s magic.
Using your intention locate your tan tien two inches below your belly button. It is is in the middle of your body between the front and the back. Now fire up your tan tien with the color red – as red as it can possibly become. Fire it up.
- Feel the red.
- Experience the heat.
- Connect with the center of your power.
Become aware of its presence and its existence. When your tan tien is fired up with the frequency that is equivalent to the color red you become centered. You are balanced. It will be quite challenging to fall or to freeze or to confront any mobility challenges whatsoever.
Become more aware this week of the center of your gravity which resides in your tan tien two inches below your belly button in the middle of your body.
- Know it.
- Feel it.
- Sense it.
- See it
- Experience it.
This same mindfulness practice works for super athletes. You also can access the limitless power that resides in that energetic spot of your body known as the tan tien. Become familiar with your tan tien and you will see miracles happen for yourself this week. Challenge yourself to derive instantaneous benefits. Celebrate the ability to move effortlessly as you fly across the stage of life just like a star ballerina.
You may be thinking – there is no way this can be true. Accept the invitation so you can witness the result. You do not have to confess to anyone that you were wrong! Instead, celebrate the benefits that this mindfulness practice offers.
