When you take this time to connect to what is deeper than any wrong,
Any secret,
Any grief,
That connection will enhance your immunity.
And time in this connection helps you recreate of your body a cohesive,
Coherent community.
And when you manage to string a few of these moments together,
You can sense in your being a distinct,
Wordless relief.
That's the welcoming of a new perspective.
That's the heart's nourishment,
Cleansing,
Protective.
And this listening and breathing is a form of stabilizing.
It's an invitation to go inside to see everything and slowly,
Quietly transform what is heavy into more grounding and change what is dark into a profound and lasting teaching.
All that's required in these few minutes of time is a willingness to find more space in your mind.
And when you're ready to diligently and generously share these rays of clarity,
Silently,
Wordlessly,
Subtly,
Swiftly,
Breathe with me.
Every time we remember ourselves,
We pierce eternity.
Every time we slow our minds,
We find more kindness,
More efficiency,
More invaluable certainty.
Every time you breathe your mind quiet,
You become more free.
Every moment you touch that place of stillness within you,
You become peace.
So welcome home.
Welcome home to the knowing with which you were born.
The knowing that's slowly been covered over like moss covered stones.
So that every single time you felt uncontrollably alone.
Every single time you felt unprotected.
Any moment someone seemed to render you helpless.
This one deep breath is how you soften.
This is how you let the light back in.
And when you consider what's holding you back right now,
What's been taking up far too much space,
Too much capable mental real estate.
Remember,
Our work is to address it,
To allow ourselves this time to relate to it.
And take a second to consider what's gripping you at this time.
Let that trouble take a gentle shape in your mind so that we can speak to this forgetfulness,
The ultimate illusion.
We make respectful contact with all of our versions.
We see all confrontation through the lens of compassion.
Take one deep breath.
