Drawing Back The Bow

Drawing Back The Bow

he art of archery in Dhanurveda has been used as a metaphor for the transformative effect meditation can have on our ability to achieve positive, right action. When making a successful shot, the bow must be drawn back fully and held in a state of absolute stillness. Any movement from this state or slackness in the bow will cause a deviation from the target. In order to produce a truly transformative shot, you and your bow and arrow must be establish in a state of Being and stillness and only when this state is established, let go of the arrow and perform action.

BEing

BEing

I was able to stop myself from the cascade of ‘doings’ and asked myself, “how do I want to BE today?”. The answers probably won’t surprise you - moving slowly with presence, grateful, curious and open hearted. Of course the answer may change on any given day, depending on your mood, energy levels, day of the week etc., however stepping beyond the doings and thoughts is what allows us to be more process orientated and non attached to the specific timings and outcomes of things.
