|ExampleSteps=A ready example of Impermanence can be found in drinking water. | |||
* Next time you reach for your trusty water bottle, pause before you take a sip. We're going to try something. | |||
* Hold the bottle in your hands. Really feel its weight, texture, temperature. Notice its shape, its color, its solidity. | |||
* Seems permanent, right? It's a bottle, it's there, and it's real. | |||
* Now, give it a little shake. Hear the water sloshing around inside? That's change right there. The water is moving, it's active. It's never the same from one moment to the next. | |||
* Now take a sip. Feel the water going down your throat, refreshing and cool. The level of the water in the bottle has changed. The weight is different. Even the temperature might have changed slightly with your hand wrapped around it. | |||
* So, even though it's still a bottle, it's not exactly the same bottle as it was a moment ago, is it? | |||
* Continue with your work, but every time you reach for a sip, take a moment to notice these changes. The bottle gets lighter with each sip. The condensation on the outside might evaporate. The temperature shifts. | |||
* Now take it a step further. Think about the water you're drinking. From your mouth, it goes into your system, hydrating you, becoming a part of you. So, in a way, the water’s journey continues, changing and flowing, just like everything else in this world. | |||
* Through this everyday act, remind yourself: it's all in constant flux, even the seemingly solid and unchanging. | |||
