Hey there.
Welcome to a hit of hope.
Do you ever feel like or even say?
It's been a day.
And you might have said this by 7.
53 in the morning.
Or it might be 11.
30 at night and you still have work to do.
Whatever the case may be.
Stop for a moment.
Let's see if you can get still.
See if you can get soft.
As I was getting ready to record this.
Air conditioning went on.
And I didn't want that background noise.
So I thought,
I'll sit.
Or meditate.
The air conditioning would not turn on.
So there I sat.
Waiting to record this meditation.
Trying to meditate in the meantime.
And I could feel myself getting angrier.
And angrier.
I was trying to do something good.
Why wasn't the world working?
Maybe it occurred to me.
The universe wanted me to actually quiet down.
To not be doing something.
To grow still.
Tickets.
When it has been a day.
When your body,
Mind,
Or spirit can't take one more thing.
When it feels like everything is working against you.
It can be annoying.
Frustrating.
And we can get angry.
And we can clench and fight and thrash even more.
Or we can do what we are doing.
Staying with.
Settling in.
Meditation is no magic wand.
The hard stuff might still be out there as soon as this is over.
Can you feel the difference?
The difference that comes.
With letting everything settle.
Why?
When you allow stillness.
To spread.
And how that can bring this week.
Softness.
You might notice it in your eyes,
Your jaw.
Maybe the shoulders start to drop.
As that breath begins to deepen.
Let your inhale be long and sweet.
Let your exhale ground you here even more.
Let it be easy.
Let it be.
Just so.
Here now.
Center.
Soften.
So you can rest.
And find E.
So when it is time,
You can get.
Back.
And get back out there.
And live life.
And shine.
Take care of you.
