This is a short glimpse focused on Human Being versus Human Doing. It uses Jon Kabat Zinn's quote as inspiration: 'If we are not careful, it's all to easy to fall into becoming more of a human doing than a human being, and forget who is doing all the doing and why.'

In the busyness of our lives,

It is easy to lose touch with our who and why.

In the words of Jon Kabat-Zinn,

If we are not careful,

It's all too easy to fall into becoming more of a human doing than a human being and forget who is doing all the doing and why.

Let's focus for a few moments on being a human being.

Gently close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

Hold it for a few seconds and then exhale completely.

Unhook from your thoughts.

Let your awareness float gently down into your heart.

What's here when there is no problem to solve?

What's here when there is nothing to do?

What's here when there is no place to go?

May you be peaceful and happy.
