Hello,
This is Vimala Sara.
Welcome to day 16,
Another day of breathing.
Breath can be higher power.
When we connect to the breath,
Our lives can change without us trying to change it.
Although the Buddhist tradition has no place for God as a creator divinity,
As understood by the theistic traditions,
There is nevertheless a clear and definite understanding of a supra-personal dimension and other power in Buddhism.
This dimension is available to every human being and for those interested we are including a supra-personal in our book Eight Step Recovery which provides the groundwork for people to readily connect with it,
Beginning with the breath.
Today the song Ocean Breath is written by Helen Greenspan and sung by the songsters.
Listen to the words,
Allow your breath to breathe you,
Allow your breath to lift and fall,
Let your breath hold and release.
Pause now then take a deep breath right down into your stomach,
Just listening and breathing as you hear the words being sung to you,
Allowing the words to wash through you and penetrate your heart.
Ocean Breath breathing me,
Ocean Breath breathing me,
Ocean Breath breathing me,
Ocean Breath breathing me,
Breathing,
Ocean Breath breathing me,
Lifting and falling breathing me,
Lifting and falling breathing me,
Lifting and falling breathing me,
Lifting and falling breathing me,
Lifting and falling breathing me,

Ocean Breath breathing me,
All which really is breathing me,
All which my breath's been breathing,
Is out of breath breathing me,
Is out of breath breathing me,
Is out of breath breathing me,
Is out of breath breathing me,
Ocean Breath breathing me,
Ocean Breath breathing me,

This is Vimala Sara wishing you another beautiful day of breathing.
May you breathe with ease and calm.
And when the ease and calm disappears,
May you be kind to yourself by stopping what you are doing and take a deep breath and pause.
