Stopping time at Grand Central Station

Frozen Grand Central



I wish I had been there. This is possibly one of the most astounding (visually at least) stunts ever pulled. No exaggeration--just watch the video.

Over 200 New Yorkers recently walked into one of the busiest train stations in the world, New York's Grand Central Station, and at exactly 2:30 pm, all froze in place. There's one guy in the video who froze just as he was stooping down to pick up some scattered papers. Talk about commitment.

Get the full briefing on the backstory here.

Personally I feel turned on by the commitment these people show staying frozen in time for 5 full minutes. I do this at home (alone) just as a means of meditation and being in the moment, in my body, listening in. I would consider doing this in a group, and in fact am going to ask members of my GoddSCircle to see if they are game. If this ever comes to fruition, I will report on it.
Would you consider doing this, privately or publicly? Solely, or with more people? If yes, please come share it here too.

That was astonishing to watch! The people who were moving were sure messed up by it! ~grin~ I wonder what effect this had on the rest of their day? I think I would have started moving more slowly and thoughtfully! This is one I'm going to save to my YouTube favorites!

I don't believe I could stand, sit, or lay still that long! My eyeballs would go dry!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, Theone, Tess, and Amber! Members of my GoddSCircle and I are discussing the possility of doing this somewhere public. We must have a very strong intention of connection and collectively raising our vibration as we do this. If we manage to get into a higher dimension during the freeze, our environment will become transparent. Will let you know when and and how if it ever comes to be.

My middle one Max inspired me today to engage into a 'freeze' game. I decided to stay 'frozen' for a minute after he said “un-freeze!” That was fun. Of course Max (now 7) was poking me, and pulling while I allowed and at the same time kept my chi anchored. My youngest one, Benji -completely non-plussed - started leaning on the statue I had become, and when Max started to show concern I came back around: “Gotcha!” This inspired Max in turn, to play dead. He did it for a full minute, nice display with tongue hanging out to the left ;-)

In gratitude,
Nell ;-)

That is truly cool Nell -
Makes me think on a lot of levels… acting as if this was the last moment to move and enjoying the movement while I got it for one.

On the surface I was wondering what exactly the driver expected the “help” he was calling for to do?  Clear a path by picking folks up like manikins?  Oh “never mind”, he says.
- hee heee.
Blessings, David
