I come into myself this morning,
As I go within,
Allowing my body to soften.
It is in the softening where the surrender takes place.
And with a gentle half-smile,
I focus upon my out-breath.
And each out-breath that I gently track is a reminder for me that my body can relax just a little more.
I use each out-breath to not only keep me grounded with this point of focus for my practice,
But I also use it as a reminder to relax.
As each out-breath happens,
My body relaxes more and more.
Out-breath,
Connection and soften.
Out-breath,
Connection and relax.
This space that I have carved out for myself creates this inner refuge,
This safe space within me.
And this nurtures me.
This nurtures my soul.
This nurtures my mind.
This nurtures my body.
And this nurturing energy I give to the world as I go about my day,
Thanks to going within.
Out-breath,
Connection and soften.
Out-breath,
Connection and relax.
