Concentration

Grounding.

Beginning with the base..with the roots..with the earth solid and strong. Knees soft and bent....head dropped.

Releasing.

Feeling. Slowly. Breathing.

Rising.

One rock..one stone..one vertebrae at a time. Stacking themselves one atop another.

Aligning.

Feeling. Slowly. Breathing. Growing.

Extending.

Arms outstretch. Tail bone tucks. Shoulders soften. Toes spread themselves wide. With each stone added - elongating..expanding...growing.

Inhaling.

Feeling. Slowly. Breathing. Growing. Reaching.

Balancing.

I couldn't quite decide - is this a science?..an art?...an act of simple and mindful meditation? Ultimately - concluded that it's a well-executed mix of all three. A silent meditation in still motion. An artful balance. The finale of a well-choreographed dance.

Focusing.

Feeling. Slowly. Breathing. Growing. Reaching. Feeling.

Concentrating.
