Hello.
My big black cat knows I'll soon sit down in the maroon chair to meditate.
So he waits until I settle in,
Then jumps carefully up and quickly arranges his long body to fit the curves of my lap.
See how you can fit yourself to the curves of this brand new day.
Rest in silence for a few moments.
Certainly let your body rest and offer rest to your mind,
That hyperactive twin.
It is astounding,
Shocking how vehemently and often the mind turns down the gift of peace.
Nothing to do literally,
But keep offering.
Here,
Here is peace.
Where you focus your attention,
You bring energy,
Heat and life.
Put your attention on each part of your animal body,
Past the surface,
Down to the cells.
Own who you are so that you become whole and one with yourself and energized.
Take time right now to wake up your primitive emotional self.
What feeling is it that is already here,
Alive and wanting acknowledgement and expression?
It has a name,
A noun to describe it.
Use the language and speak the name of the feeling,
A first step.
How do you envision the non-material world?
Reflect for a moment here on all that you cannot see or touch.
As I speak,
I reach out to you through the realm of spirit.
Consider how your spirit can wake up today and seek out other spirits.
May you simply be yourself today and be flexible enough to fit the contours of the day as it unfolds.
May you trust your instincts and follow your intuitions.
Your gift today is animals.
