Daily Nourishment Read Time: 40 seconds
Pause/Prompt/Practice Time: 15 minutes
“Direct your heart upward.”
Pause.
Listen to THIS with your eyes closed. Headphones might enhance the experience.
Prompt.
Take five minutes and describe the music you just heard as if for someone who is unable to hear it. Keep your hand moving for the entire five minutes.
Practice.
Listen to the song again, and then take five minutes and try to describe it as if it were edible. Turn what you hear into something that can be tasted, chewed, swallowed. What sort of food does it “taste” like to you? What is the experience of eating it?
