definition
image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Give close attention to your breathing. Feel the passing of air each way through your nose and throat. Feel how your lungs pull the air in and let the air fall out as the tension in the muscles of the chest and diaphragm collapses. As your attention is focused upon your chest, allow your inner eye to see something that you have been unaware of for all of your life until this very moment. In your heart, there is a small silver bell, that has grown dusty and tarnished from disuse and neglect. Let yourself be astonished and amazed as something magical begins to happen as soon as you attention affixes itself upon this bell. The dust blows away and the tarnish, quickly clears, leaving a bright and ready ornament, ready to chime in one clear, sweet, and inimitable tone, if only you would so direct. Realize that this magic is happening all at your will and that it is something that you have always wanted but without a well-defined understanding of just what it was that this wanting meant. Now that you do understand, you wait no time at all but direct immediately, that that one tone of the the silver bell ring. And then it does. Feel the vibrations of that ringing bell, reverberate within your chest cavity. Feel and hear, the rhythm of your heartbeat respond to the perfect tone of the magic silver bell. Realize that a perfect, smooth and rhythmic heartbeat like this, is precious beyond words. Take a moment to appreciate and enjoy this wonder, then allow your eyes to slowly open once again. (Chavez)
