How Long is my Now? An Inner Task Series by Roberta Chromey

This is one of my favorites from Mrs. Popoff’s catalogue: “How Long is my Now, How deep is my Silence?”

This week, try as much as possible to RELAX THE MUSCLES OF THE MOUTH during the day.

This week’s task from Mrs. Popoff, was the first one that stood out for me: Brush your teeth with your left hand (unless you usually brush with your left, then brush with your right.)

This week, Listen to the sound of your voice.

This week, again from Mrs. Popoff: Do everything as if it’s for the last time.

Following our work of sensing and coming into Presence as we pass through a doorway or threshold, we can focus more closely by sensing or being aware of our hand as we touch the door handle.

Our task for this week is to be Present each time we walk through a doorway upon entering or leaving a room.

As we wrap up this month’s task, I invite you to engage all three centers in tandem this week. Call a stop, be alert to Self-remembering in all three centers together, and from your innermost center, notice and pause.

This week, we’ll focus on the intellectual center. To establish a reference point, take a moment to sense your head and how it is balanced on your shoulders, held up by your spine. Sense its volume, spaciousness, and shape. Engage it as another limb of your body.

This week, we’ll focus on the emotional center. As we know, the emotional center is much faster than the intellectual center, but these centers can combine forces and create ‘strong emotions’ which can drain us of energy or create outbursts of negativity.
