Wooey-wooey alert...For the 3rd straight year, a meditation stone has been my companion on my walking forays through the back roads of Europe. What is a meditation stone? It`s an unremarkable pebble, not much bigger than the size of my thumbnail. Its smooth, flat form would prompt some to choose it for skipping stones on a lake surface but there`s something about that white veiny marble chip. When I slip it between my fingers, it`s as though a natural sequence has been triggered. My fingers can`t help but flip it this way and that, caressing its polished edges. All the while, eyes focus on the road ahead, legs switch onto auto-pilot and my mind enters a peaceful trance.
My head visits friends, family, people I`ve lost, friends whose ill health could use all the good vibes they can get. Thanks to these walking meditations, I visit them all and share with them the positive energy of my feelings for them. It may seem silly to drag your pet rock along on holidays but as my meditation stone has proven itself time and again, it has earned its coveted spot in the corner of my right pocket.
This is pretty sweet, H! x
