Hello and welcome.
My name is Pratikha.
In a world of constant stimulation.
These are a few quiet aphorisms.
For slowing down.
A few gentle reminders for the mind.
For the body and for the nervous system.
So wherever you are.
Quietly breathe.
And allow yourself to.
Slow down for a while.
Each morning is now.
You will not find it on a calendar.
A peaceful day arises.
As a peaceful,
Calm breath.
Let the heart quietly meet the day.
Before the mind tries to understand it.
Peace is already here.
Patiently waiting to be recognised.
Relax.
Be still.
Breathe deeply.
This moment is the archway through which the whole day begins.
As timeless.
Presence.
Each breath reminds us.
That life is here.
Present and future.
Spontaneous.
The quietest breath arises.
The deepest calm.
The heartbeat is the living presence.
Of this moment.
A quiet,
Calm mind.
Is the presence of.
Spaciousness.
Nothing you are needs to be.
Anything more.
Each day can begin like a fragrant lotus.
When the mind is present.
Now is one eternal breath.
Peace is not something we create.
It is something We stop.
Disturbing.
The mind may plan the day,
But the heart lives it.
Now.
Is all that there is.
Present is the softest way to walk through life.
Awareness is the presence by which life is created.
Reveals itself each morning.
A calm and quiet morning.
Brings countless opportunities.
To the day.
Each breath is the heartbeat of now.
Life is one of flow.
When we stop resisting.
Nothing in this moment.
Needs to be different.
Peace grows.
In the space where effort relaxes.
Each quiet moment.
Is of immeasurable Presence.
The mind quietens.
When it no longer needs to hold on to anything.
Gentle stillness shapes.
The rhythm of the day.
Life unfolds quietly and calmly.
When it is clearly seen.
Nothing is missing.
Peace begins when we stop.
Holding on.
Resisting quiet awareness.
Is the calm of the mind.
Life unfolds effortlessly.
When we stop.
Interfering.
Blessings to you.
