RE: Day 6: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: Faster Than Light
When you are tired, close your eyes for eighty breaths. Do not fall asleep. Let whatever comes to mind pass through without latching on to the thought nor attempting to push it out. Let what comes up come and let it pass like the water flowing in a stream.
I do guided meditations before bed, but in the morning I listen to the sounds of ocean waves and just let my brain wander. It's intriguing how different my thoughts are each morning.
Great take on the freewrite!
Thursdays are my day to help @mariannewest deliver the prompts, so on that note… here I am with my crazy scattered thoughts to deliver Today’s Daily Prompt: Red Wine for the freewrite. Feel free to join us if you have the time and thank you for joining us today! It is such an awesome community to be a part of and now we have a new page with contests, new challenges and even more community:
Thanks for sharing what you do. My seba (teacher) has us practicing and listening to water often as a way to relax the body and calm the mind.
If you’ve ever read ”Dune,” the 80 breaths practice is from the Bene Gesserit training.
I’m coming from a taoist perspective regarding the meditative practice.
I lived on a boat for a while and the sounds of water seems to have a much more calming effect than it ever did before that.
😮 lived on a boat. How awesome. Where at and what was your purpose?
It was something that my husband had always dreamed of doing... and something his dad had dreamed of doing. His parents passed away before they could, so we went on a n adventure. Down the coast of Florida, across to the Bahamas, down through those islands to Turks & Caicos and the Dominican Republic. For almost two years. The purpose was really just to have the experience!
🤣🙏🏼 There must be different freewrites. Yours says ”Red Wine.” The post you link to says ”cane.” 😉 I’ll do both this time around.
Hahaha... nope. I'm just dysfunctional and it's a typo. :/ I'm really really REALLY bad at this.
Hahaha. I won’t hold this mistake against you.
