definition
image: Close your eye. Breathe in and out three times. Let your imagination carry you down into the Earth. Notice that the earth is moist and crumbly and composed of so many different elements that you haven't time to notice them all before you discover that you are a seed. A seed placed just below the surface of the soil, in order to have a chance to sprout. Which is in fact what you are doing now. Feel yourself burst forth with new life, reaching through the Earth for the minerals and water, with which you will build and grow. Experience the thrust of your stem upward, through your thin covering of soil, into the open air. Allow yourself the luxury of letting your first two leaves unfold, first one and then the other. Pause for a moment and thrill to the miracle that unfolds along with those leaves. Up to this moment your growth and your activity has been powered from the stored life, held within your original seed start body. With the first, green unfurling of your sunlight sails, you are on your own. You are a pump. ceaselessly pulling the waters that you find and the minerals dissolved within them, up to make new stems, leaves and roots. Which in turn work to pump more nutrients in an ever expanding cycle of growth. Feel the glorious cyclic beauty of that never ending pumping action and notice how it carries over into the cycling of the fluids within the body that you usually wear. Having known that fundamental perfection within these last few minutes, bring that perfect feeling over into the everyday and notice how any anomalies in your normal function even out. Take all the time you need to appreciate this wonder, then allow your eyes to open once again. (Chavez)
