Tempo

Life has its tempo. Every life has its pulse, its rhythm. Human being is often out of touch with its individual tempo. So much of seeking evolution is trying to rediscover that tempo which is essential to each of us. Being still and merging with my pulse by allowing myself to be totally focused on that pulse is an amazing practice. The more I stay in touch with my tempo, the more I feel that I am in syncopation with the music of the Universe.

Pace

The pace of life in an urban civilization can be hectic and distracting. Mastering the pace of my life is necessary for my practice. When I allow the pace of my life to be hurried by external pressures, my quality of life is lessened. Learning to do things in smaller stages often gets things done with better results. This is the beauty of learning to multi-task, if you can also learn to not try to do too many tasks at once. Practice helps me to estimate the best pace for me in daily life. Routines of contemplation, mental and physical exercise and adequate rest are essential components of my practice.
