Blue Sky

Go outside during a break from work, even if you are in the middle of a city. If you can't go outside, just stand at a window and look into the sky. Find a patch of blue. Look deep into the blue distance of the sky until you gaze beyond the vanishing point, beyond any focus. You are gazing at infinity. As your eyes un-focus and relax, seeing no-thing yet intensely alive with awareness, many muscles in your face relax spontaneously.

Exhale, following the breath out through your eyes into the depths of blue space. Inhale that depth. After a few breaths, close your eyes and experience the same depth,  the same vastness, inside.

Become aware of your whole body in this boundless blue sky. Infuse your body with space. The blue sky fills every cell, every atom. This is not imagination. This is how it really is. The infinite sky, the boundless vacuum, is in fact what matter is made of.
