You’ve probably heard that time is an artificial construct. That it’s an illusion, that it’s a 3d Reality paradigm . . .
However, in your everyday life, time is a valid concern. You operate within a schedule, there are 24 hours in a day. As much as you’d like you can’t really bypass time, can you?
What if, just like yogi’s and adepts, you could expand time at will?
The thing is that time is a ‘reality’ to a certain extent, but a lot more is flexible than you think. Remember a time when you were so wrapped up in something that hours seemed like minutes. . . How about a time when seconds felt like hours? Can you remember when something was brief, but if felt like eons? Yeah, no doubt you’ve had some of those too.
Now, notice what were you doing when time sped up and when time slowed down. Take a moment to capture this info. Take a piece of paper and draw a line across the top and then a line down the middle, so that you create two columns. In the left column title write, “Time Expands”, in the right column title write, “Time Contracts.”
Notice the quality of your energy, notice who you became as you were in the experience, notice how it impacted the outcome. What was possible? Write for a couple of minutes, noticing as much as possible about each experience, jotting down the clarifying factors.
What if you spent more of your time on the activities that expand time? Not only would you get more done, but you’d be tapped in, turned on and zinging creatively. Let’s renegotiate your agreement with time and create a more expansive reality.

I did the exercise, and found – to my surprise – that writing about the experience of time expanding, eventually lowered my energy as well.
I’d like to share what I wrote for myself:
Freedom.
This happens when I am unaware of time, and actually disregardful of it. It’s a time of ease, and what I usually consider “leisure well earned”, when I pursue my thoughts or an activity passionately. Enjoying the experience of creative vitality.
It is rare! And I long to experience it more – one of the more difficult things to practice.
So the question arises, can it – or should it – be practiced directly?
Alternatively, could it be more effective to practice being in the hear and now (ostensibly denying time) and meditating regularly to increase ease and self acceptance?
