My dear Yogi and Yoginis,
I found this little story in my magazine. I would like to share it with you.
The boy watched as the grandmother wrote a letter. At some point he asked: “Are you writing a story that happened to us? Is it maybe even a story about me?”
The grandmother stopped and with a smile she said to her
grandson: “Right, I’m writing about you. But more important than the words is the pencil I use. It would be nice if you were like him when you grow up. The boy looked at the pencil in confusion and couldn’t see anything special about him. “But it is just like all other pencils.”
It depends on how you look at things. The pencil has five qualities and if you can make them your own, you will become a person at peace with the world.
The first quality: You can do great things, but should never forget that there is a hand that guides your steps. This hand we call God and he shall always guide you according to his will.
The second quality: Sometimes I have to stop writing and use the sharpener. Therefore the pencil suffers a little, but afterwards it’s sharp again. So learn to endure pain from time to time, because it will make you a better person.
The third quality: So that we can erase mistakes, the pencil is equipped with an eraser. You must realize that correcting is not a bad thing, it is absolutely necessary to keep us on the right path.
The fourth quality: What matters in the pencil is not the wood or its outer form but the graphite mine that is in it. So always pay attention to what is going on inside you.
Finally, the fifth quality of the pencil: He always leaves a trace. You too must know that everything you do in life leaves traces and therefore try to do what you are doing very consciously.
~ Paulo Coelho (Author)
All what we do or don’t do with our body leaves traces in our body. If we move or do things consciously we can give our energy paths, health and overall well/being a direction and create the possibility for physical changes. Further more if we make a conscious
connection between body and mind, the desired changes will
manifest themselves as “pathways” in your body/mind.
