Mindful Monday Activity for the 21^st of March: Stone Stacking

Stone stacking, or rock balancing, requires patience and focus. It is a mindful practice that allows you to be in the moment, see opportunities, create belief in your personal power, and letting go.

Here are the steps:

1. Finding Stones
   The stones are like a puzzle and their shape, texture and size will determine how big or small your pile will be. Let the stones call to you, let the shapes, balance and rocks guide you to be a part of the creation. Visualise how they will look in a stack. (The stones for this exercise don't need too big or tall, be sure to be safe when lifting rocks!)
2. Breathing
   You want to remain calm; breathing evenly to as you position each rock on top of each other. Be conscious of how you breathe when you successfully balance a rock, and also when it topples off the stack. 
3. Appreciating your stack
   Take some time to appreciate your complete stack. How each rock sits upon the other, the limits you have tested and the opportunities you found to bring balance. Gaze at the shape of your stack, and reflect on the fears and doubts you've overcome to achieve this outcome.
4. Walking Away
   As with everything in life, it’s also important not to get attached to the outcome. When you’re finished, try pushing it over safely and see how it feels to let go. Nothing in this world is permanent, especially your pile of stones – the more comfortable with this idea we can be in our lives, the more inner peace we’ll find in each moment.

The next time you're out in nature, give this mindful activity a go!
