Christmas Eve

Here is a playful exercise that can help you be more flexible, humble, unpretentious, and respectful. All you need is imagination—and a sense of humor.

TAKING YOURSELF AS LIGHTLY AS ANGELS DO

The next time you experience an ego conflict with someone, visualize the person turning into a blob of jelly right before your eyes—lime green jelly! Imagine that all you see is a blob of talking, gesturing, scowling, quivering, sparkling, lime-green jelly—translucent—that the light shines through—like a halo. Now imagine that your own feet begin to feel squishy. You glance down and realize that your feet are turning green! You are turning into lime-green jelly, too—translucent—that the light shines through—like a halo! You take a deep breath of fresh air and let it go. You are free! You have always been free. The light shines, radiates, and sparkles around you. The light shines, radiates, and sparkles around the other person. Words continue to come out of that person’s mouth, but now everything is happening in slow motion. You can see each word in technicolor. You can grasp each word and hold onto it—or you can let the words go—let them flow—into the atmosphere and dissolve into space. You are that free! You smile upon that person. You breathe deeply. You are that free! You always have been!

  1. This one makes me laugh. I will practice this in my relationships. It will surely give me another way to look at relationships and add lightness in my life. Thank you. The lime-green picture is also interesting. Very creative.
