As you settle in,
Get comfortable.
Allow yourself to receive this beautiful poem by Dana Faulds,
Just for Now.
Just for now,
Without asking how.
Let yourself sink into stillness.
Just for now,
Lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders.
Feel the earth receive you,
And the infinite expanse of sky grow even wider as your awareness reaches up to meet it.
Just for now,
Allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.
Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.
Just for now,
Be boundless,
Free,
Awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.
Drink in the possibility of being who and what you really are,
So fully alive that when you open your eyes,
The world looks different,
Newly born and vibrant.
Just for now.
Settling in to this sacred moment.
This moment dedicated to gratitude.
In this very moment,
What do you notice?
Perhaps you're aware of your breath flowing through the body.
What is there to be grateful for as you inhale?
What is the loveliest sound you've heard recently?
Today perhaps?
What was the last act of kindness?
What was the most recent recipient of your kind and generous heart?
When is the last time you felt astonished,
Inspired,
Heart-blown open?
Allow yourself to dwell in that astonishment.
What is most tender for you right now?
What is most wonderful?
What is your favorite taste?
Is your most delightful scent?
What is your favorite sound?
What feeling on your skin do you most cherish?
What feeling in your heart do you most savor?
What is the most breathtaking sight you have ever seen?
What is the most exquisite mystery you've ever been so blessed to be confounded by?
Just for now,
Be boundless,
Free,
Awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.
Drink in the possibility of being who and what you really are,
So fully alive that when you open your eyes,
The world looks different,
Newly born and vibrant.
Just for now.
