Spring! And a Metaphor for Focus

Spring! Walking some trails today in upstate New York- I see that it’s not gorgeous yet but the anticipation is building. To find the color "green" you have to really look-either at the pine trees or the ferns along the ground, or at spotty patches of grass which are just turning, but it FEELS PROMISING.

As my Springers and I walked along a canal there were Canadian Geese and Wood -Ducks, a Redwing-Blackbird, and along the path a reddish looking Garter Snake and a small Box Turtle as big as my fist. To me the most definite expressions of the change of seasons is not the calendar but the signs of life bursting out everywhere and not a moment too soon. I was not going to function at full capacity until I could enjoy a shift from the darkness and cold as I hibernated in my house.

While hibernating on a cold April day, I was meditating and came across a really useful technique. This technique is to help with focus. Lack of focus is probably the scourge of the Age of Technology as we multitask between IPad, IPod, cell phone calls, text messages, You tube videos, the Internet, Facebook, Twitter and on and on. It’s a wonder anyone focuses on an appointed task at all. And this is what was shown to me in the meditation. I saw a metronome and I saw it traversing back and forth and then I saw it pressed to the center. There is your focal point. When you are working on a centering thought anything but dead center is a distraction. Each time you move from that centering thought you are distracted. Try using the metronome metaphor for the next focused thought you have or need to have and see if it doesn’t help you stay with the centering thought. I will use it for manifestation, but one could use it for that, or to problem solve, or to brainstorm, or in any one of thousands of ways. Remember to stay centered and not let your thoughts shift your mind from side to side- back and forth. The center is where it’s at –whatever your centering thought is.
