TIME OUT

In sports, time-out is usually called by a coach so they can communicate with their team regarding strategy or to take a break to halt a loosing streak.

In the surgery room, when doctors are exhausted, a time-out is called and the physician stands on a red carpet which is symbolic of taking a restorative rest break.

When children are unruly, parents demand they take a time- out and sit in a chair in a corner or stand until their composure returns.

Meditation Is an opportunity to mentally and spiritually touch the tentacles of our source and is a restorative time-out.

A leisurely stroll through a wooded area focusing on gratitude is an uplifting time- out.

Shifting to a more esoteric or metaphysical view, many religions have a doctrinaire time-out. For instance, Shabbat(Friday night thru Saturday) in Judaism is a time-out from the mundane plane of time, space and matter occupying our focus and attention six days of the week.

Time-out between lifetimes is an opportunity to review and focus on personal mistakes and successes in this lifetime. It is an opportunity to assess how the next incarnation can lead to higher levels of spiritual consciousness on soul’s journey back to its source.
