Come to a comfortable seat.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Breathing in light.
Breathing out darkness.
As we feel our eyes soften,
The skin on our forehead relax.
The brain letting go as the jaw drops.
Feeling the lips soften,
The throat soft.
As you breathe in,
Feel the soft rise and fall of the belly.
Relaxing,
Letting go.
Going a little deeper.
Thinking.
I called to my higher power the other day,
And I didn't get an answer.
And then I called to my higher power today and I didn't get an answer.
And then I thought,
Maybe I didn't listen.
Maybe I need to be more than a little bit more.
I didn't listen.
Maybe I need to go a little deeper.
A little more quiet.
Allow my thoughts to slip away.
Allow some light from something greater than myself to come into my day.
Not to do it now and then,
But really to make that connection,
To want that connection.
As if you were just beaming energy from the sun into your body,
To have that connection to something greater than yourself,
To be with you in the day.
It's funny,
It is anyway,
But we just don't pay attention,
Nor do we ask.
Perhaps to just listen and feel the presence.
As we feel that presence,
We can give all those problems to our higher power.
And in the mover.
Doesn't that feel so much lighter?
The breath is even a little softer,
Smoother,
The body more relaxed,
The mind a little calmer.
As we let go of these things and allow the light of our higher power to shine on the habit,
Leave it up to that higher power.
As we come back,
Breathing in and breathing out,
Letting go,
We come back to our cushion and feel ourselves more able to be present.
That is our present.
