I surrender to this moment.
I surrender to a strength within.
In my surrender,
I find my strength.
Let me be still and go home to this strength.
With each breath,
I settle quietly into this moment.
The gateway to the light.
The strength within me.
I become aware of breathing.
Each breath exactly as it is in this moment.
Easy.
Not so easy.
I quietly honour each breath.
I sink into the gift of breathing.
As if in this moment,
This is all there is.
This is everything.
The centre of gravity in this moment is breathing.
The in and out quiet flow of life.
And when my mind wanders,
I patiently take note and calmly bring the mind back to this quiet focus.
Now,
I slow down breathing.
I practice patiently,
Lovingly.
Slowing down each breath.
I practice each precious breath.
Honouring the gift of each breath.
I follow each inhalation,
Slowly all the way in,
Towards a quiet stillness within me.
I sink into this place.
I follow each slow exhalation,
All the way out.
Letting go at the end of each long,
Slow breath.
Allowing me to surrender further to this internal source of strength and stillness within me.
What's always been there.
What always will be.
This is my practice in this moment.
Settling.
Sinking.
To my strength.
In the quiet of my heart,
The deep recesses of my mind.
I wait,
I listen in a state of silent expectancy.
I hear the voice within.
This strong,
Silent voice within.
There is a place within.
One with a limitless,
Creative,
Universal consciousness.
I am not my body.
I am free.
One with this consciousness and awareness.
I am this place of strength.
A light within.
With each slow,
Slow breath,
I remember.
I am not,
Nor ever could be separate.
From this source,
This strength,
This center.
In the silence,
In slowness,
I remember this place.
I will be still an instant and go home to this place.
This light within.
I am the sureness and strength of this place.
This moment.
As the external world whirls around me,
Pulls me perhaps,
I pause,
I slow my breath.
I remember and I sink again into this place of stillness.
A place of strength within.
When something happens,
I pause for an instant.
I slow down breathing,
Even one breath and I remember this source of quiet strength within.
When I seek answers,
I pause,
I slow down breathing.
I remember I access this place within.
Until this becomes my quiet,
Continuous practice.
Accessing this place,
This strong,
Quiet place within me.
Always within me.
From this place,
I remember that everything and everyone is a gift.
An angel,
A teacher.
Meant to remind me of who I really am.
I allow this quiet smile of knowingness to lead this day.
I give thanks for this quiet awareness.
An awakening to my strength.
