It is so easy to lose perspective and forget where 'up' actually is. So the little chap in the middle of this cartoon is pointing to a really helpful life tool. And I am not talking about the rainbow!
A woman who I hold in high regard told me about the mental and emotional benefits of raising ones arm and pointing UP. When I first did this in her presence she said that's not up. Indeed it wasn't, it was up'ish!
Sometimes when all is misery me or earth earth, as one of our scriptures says, I take a moment and point up and mentally follow where my hand is pointing.
Does wonders, try it why not. This is a private practice incidentally.
Note: This image is a scan of a card sent me by an old sangha friend and blog reader. Very many thanks.
