I’m a very visual learner and I proces forward and backwards at times
My right hemisphere is dominate and tend to have a skill in understanding context and struggle with text…. I find yoga and mindfulness sits in this right hemisphere…. what do you think thank you (:

Focus on the horizon to appreciate the “the larger space you’re in”.
It worked! In Hawaii that’s really easy! Mahalo!

Thanks great approach and I really did feel a sense of lateral spaciousness. 😊

Thank you again for a mind settling, soothing practice. I especially appreciate this activity after an afternoon helping a dozen kindergarten students and their parents and grandparents assemble their own personal scarecrows. It was a blast, but it did leave me a bit frazzled.

Thanks for this Rick ! Staying so composed, focused and gentle with a fly buzzing around you is an impressive role model in itself 🙂

Love the patient, calm presentation – took a little for me to tune out inner chatter, but it worked!
