Not a creature was stirring...
Someone recently taught me this technique for quieting the mind. In this exercise, the cat represents your awareness, and the mouse is your next thought. Sitting still and quiet, visualize yourself like that cat patiently watching a mouse hole, waiting for the next thought to come by.
For some reason, this particular visualization seems to still all my racing thoughts and give me a few moments of quiet mind. I've taken several 'mouse watching' moments in the past few furious days as we race toward Christmas.
Happy Mouse-Hole-idays!
