How to do it? 
Here you are. Find a comfortable position – you can sit or stand. Pay attention to the signs of time around you – what do you notice? Maybe you hear or see rushing traffic… people moving around or a clock ticking…? Is it calm and slow around you? Do you notice rushing?
What about the time inside you – do you sense you have plenty of time? Not enough time?
Now notice your heart beating. Notice your breathing. Payattention to the rhythm and tempo… Start moving your hands, following your inner rhythm and tempo. What do your hands want to do? How do they want to move? You can start stretching your movements with
the feeling that you have a magical ability to stretch the time. Move with the feeling that you have the whole time in the world. You probably know how a cat stretches…or how it feels to
wake up and stretch yourself in a “lazy morning” when you have plenty of time.
Now you can let the movement spread into your whole body, you may try different directions (up, down, front, back, left, right, diagonals…)
Enjoy your body’s ability to stretch the time however and as much as you want.
Would you like to try some variations?
You can choose your own music and create your own “stretching the time” dance.
