Magic Minute #3: Power Seeds

Power Seeds are mental devices, thought triggers to create, enhance or encourage Soul Consciousness, and hence change your actions. They can be aimed at specific behaviours or specific problems, or they can be random insights, even word games, which lead the Mind to blow a fuse and cease its unruly chatter, allowing you to look through an open door in your consciousness and rub up against consciousness itself. There’s a whole list of them in the Ecology of the Soul’s vault, more coming daily. Some are practical and sensible, some off the wall. For example; ‘Walk like a Cat’. Even if you don’t like animals, you can see a cat’s silent, acute awareness in every step. It is quivering with sensuous sensitivity. Every movement is precise, accurate, but fluid and subtle at the same time. It has the appearance of pre-meditated, carefully thought out action, but as we know it is actually entirely instinctive and natural. Plant the idea in your mind; ponder it, consider it, give it 60 seconds. Then – and this is the point – let it ‘repeat’, like sardines or garlic. Let it rise to the surface of your mind through the day. Remind yourself, as you walk to the photocopier: ‘Walk like a cat to the photocopier.’ Your colleagues might think you look a little weird, but you know you are practising walking lightly on the earth, all your antennae (or whiskers, if you prefer) aquiver. Tomorrow, you can walk like a giraffe. What? Think about it.
