Thank you for taking some time to join us today.

In this special episode, we'll drop into an immersive meditation

designed to help you slow down

and become more aware of what's happening right now. I once spent over two hours just watching a clock tick round. It was a round, white, fairly basic wall clock, hung in a room in Devon

on the south coast of England. The clock was at one end of a room with lovely wooden floors.

I walked up and down, a little bit slower than my normal pace.

Feeling the warm wood under my bare feet,

the boards telling me its stories of the forest with every step.

Just remembering that day, I can feel it now.

And as I walked, my eyes were fixed on the clock, relaxed but steady. I turned my back as I walked away and then we'd meet again face to face as I stepped

towards it. Sometimes, often, I would just stop and stand and gaze on the clock as it tick,

ticked round for several minutes at a time.

Now, this might sound like a fairly weird thing to do, but when you go down the meditation

rabbit hole like I've done in the past, you can end up doing some fairly weird things. Importantly, this was an afternoon which I look back on with

great fondness because I think it changed my relationship with time forever.

It's hard to describe how it did that, but I'll try.

There was a moment while doing this.

The mind was very quiet,

but it was also alive and vibrant and just on capital O capital N on but also super relaxed and all of a sudden an insight arose unbidden. Time is change.

Ah, time is change.

What does that mean?

I walked with that insight up and down me and the clock left and right. Time is change.
