Today was a great day. It started badly and was getting worse for more than half of it. But by 5 pm, it had come good at last.

You see, time had disappeared between 25 and 35 minutes of Yoga.

How do I know?

It's funny how we don't know the time has disappeared until after it's gone.

Most of the 'time' we don't care about it.

But inside that moment is a magical skill we can train deeper and deeper.

We go somewhere and, well, then we come back!

But back from where?

The Youtube Yoga video I was watching stopped, and I realised I was no longer thinking about my problems, upcoming stuff, financial and relationship stuff. All gone.

The sounds of my niece and nephew fighting with each other, then stopping, then starting again. All gone.

My body was light again.

My mind? Refreshed from all anxiety and stress.

I began to observe whether this magical elixir that literally takes no time and costs nothing could be trained.

What's fascinating to me is that it is not the AMOUNT of timelessness. One moment is enough.

Can timelessness be trained?

According to the Daoist masters, training harmony inside and outside creates a special zone called 'forget-I'.

In this Forget-I zone, our I begins to disappear and then it is gone.

Yes, it will reform faster than my niece and nephew will demand it's time to swim! But for now, it is gone.

Why is that special?

I tried to watch a Yoga video 3 times today while I babysat them. It's not their fault they are 6 and 11 years old and have unlimited energy; I'm nearly 40. Not quite.

Speaking about age, what is our feeling about time?
One definition of time is how we move in space. And when we move in space, we need an identity to do that called our ego.

Our ego is very busy having to do many things. Our greed non-stop creates things for us to do except do nothing.

Doing nothing. Wu-Wei.

The Daoist masters spent a lot of time discussing this. Wu Wei is not to do nothing, but do, without our regular personal I.

What's that? The one with all the 'I and my' problems.

So one moment when time stops is a magic moment.

All the stress from our ego, identity, space, and time all vanish.

Just in time for Uncle Tim to make more peanut butter sandwiches.

But I was successful. And so will you if you start to practice Wang-Wo; Forget I.

I will continue their research this year - making sure each day has a moment free from time, and will chart my progress.

I would love to hears yours!
