319. End Points and Pausing

In every activity, there are natural stops or end points. Making a model airplane has a natural stop once the glueing has been finished you must stop until it has dried before starting to paint it up. These stops are very good times to fall still and let your mind come to rest in the peace of your own self and settle there for 2 minutes or so. These mini-meditations or pauses as they are called help to stop the build up of Rajas and prevent your mind from spinning out of control. When it is time for the next phase or activity, your mind will be rested clear and calm and your attention will be freely available to focus on the task at hand if you have paused. They help your being to accumulate sattva.
