Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows

In the late 1970's, while wandering the Grand Canyon and Mexico I was reading Carlos Castaneda's books. As usual my mind wandered in and out of the sentences and picked only that which is tangible, the meditation exercises and rituals.

The one that was most effective was watching the sunset through the left eye while looking northward, and the sunrise through the right eye looking southward.  Every day energized me like nothing else and actually brought clarity between the known and unknown in my awareness. I watched the night sky from the bottom of the canyon; stars appearing from one edge and disappearing behind the opposite edge, then I began to feel the rotation of the Earth. In came the warmth of being a part of this planet while nested a mile within, and watching the universe be tantalizingly mysterious.

Since then I have learned other exercises and rituals that don't include the power of sunshine but can shift the yin/yang to a balanced position just as powerfully.  Today I combined the two and now I'm reeling in rainbows sparking between the synapses of thought, tingling the joy and happiness in the mundane.
