The pendulum is an ancient instrument which makes its steady progress across a prescribed path marking time. Steady, predictable, calming.
As human being we function best when we pendulate steadily between alert and resting. Restful alertness is the optimal state for functioning.
However most of us become stuck in the state of alert - too alert - and perhaps alarmed. Or we can get stuck in asleep, out of touch, out of it - neither is a useful way of moving through the world, but is often our reality. I am learning not just to breath again, but to try and learn to pendulate in a functional alertness.
