Here’s an interesting thing that I sometimes do. I thought I’d share it with all of you.

Pick a time when you are around other people that you don’t need to directly interact with, and in a situation where you don’t have anything better to do. For example, at the supermarket, or waiting for a bus, or sitting in a park.

Relax, and let your mind un-focus for a bit.

As you look around you at everyone, imagine them as simply images of yourself, but yourself born in different bodies and with different circumstances and history. Then just watch for a bit as they/you move and go about their business.

Don’t try too hard. This is about un-focusing and for a moment dropping the barriers somewhat. Let yourself just experience for however long you want to.

For me it is relaxing and fascinating at the same time. It helps remind me that none of us are truly separate
