While Bau Hu and Kumiko checked the last details of our plan, I stood behind a series of tall trees with my hands high in the air.
No, I wasn’t being mugged, although it reminded me a lot of that one cartoon my beloved would watch of a guy with spiky black hair with a fluffy tail who requested help from an entire planet by raising his hands like I was. I never understood the appeal of such a violent cartoon…perhaps it was a male thing.
As I stood there, the dragon flew between my hands while guiding my meditation.
“Concentrate on the beat of your heart until everything else fades. Once you reach that point, imagine that each beat pumps energy into your body…what color is it?”
It took me a moment to visualize that, before I was confident enough to answer “red”.
“Great! Now imagine that you can move this energy with your mind. Just picture it following your attention. When you do that, concentrate your attention on the space between your hands.”
