Simple Appreciations: Breath And Gravity (Jan 23, 26)

Our mind tends to focus on the pleasant and unpleasant, tending to try to hang on to the pleasant, and push away the unpleasant. We sometimes miss all the beautiful normal parts of a day, those moments that are still and regular, and this is often where tiny joys can arise. Take some time to settle in, and notice your regular, consistent, and brilliant breath, using the earth and your breath as focal points to remember the tiny joys that exist in slow time, on a normal day.
"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, savor you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow." ~Mary Jean Irion

Oh the great blessing of the ordinary moments! Thank you for this gently powerful session. I just want to say that I have a special appreciation for the way you shape the closings of your Guided meditations, the way the invitation is to find your own closing gesture, and the way you give language to merit rippling out. Beautiful.
