sphere transformation

Aikido Sensei Koichi Tohei taught us to sit quietly, to visualize a small sphere at the core of our being, to be that sphere. With each breath exhalation the sphere that you are doubles in size. This can continue until you are as expansive as the cosmos. When you have expanded as far as you wish (encompassing the planet can be far enough), allow each breath inhalation to halve the sphere you are. Half and half and half, until you are back to the size of your original sphere. Continue halving in size until you are in the realm of the subatomic or as far in smallness as you feel comfortable. Reverse the process and double in size again with each out breath until you are back to the original visualized sphere. Sit quietly. Smile, get up and be on your way. No longer bound by rigid body image, the world is different to you now.
