Hey there.

Life shakes us up.

Can you feel it?

Can you feel how sometimes the energy gets stirred up inside?

How the breath gets shallow,

The shoulders hunched,

The thoughts start buzzing and stinging.

When you feel the things inside start to spin and swirl,

Breathe.

Allow the energy inside the vessel of you to settle,

To calm.

In time things will clear.

When we sit and breathe and settle we find a clearness of breath,

A clearness of I.

The stirred up silt of life drops away.

What is left is a clarity of sun,

A clarity of moon,

A light steady shining.

If your thoughts begin to swirl again,

Begin again.

Sit,

Breathe,

Let the energy settle.

Let the clearness start in your center and spread to every single part of your being.

Inhale,

Exhale.

Let the energy settle.

Allow the space to clear.

Hold space,

Hold light.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Hold space,

Hold light.

And see how you shine.
