Hi,
Welcome to Peacebeam.
Let us begin.
Step one,
Notice.
Just take a few moments here and hold the question,
How do I feel today,
And see what comes back,
And just notice it.
Step two,
Breathe.
Just bring your attention now to your breath and rest it there gently,
Observing the inhale and the exhale,
And just be here for a few moments breathing.
And now just start to imagine that your breath is flowing in and out through your heart and that the rhythm of your heart and the rhythm of your breath are uniting,
Connecting,
Greeting each other here,
Creating a space for you to drop into for these few brief moments.
Step three,
Activate.
When we contemplate our planet,
Sometimes we can feel connected,
Especially when we're in nature.
A sunset over an endless ocean,
The silky silence of a towering forest,
The secret calls of twilight and indigo dusks.
Sometimes it's more difficult,
Especially in busy cities,
It's hard to feel that deep link.
In those moments when we do feel the connection,
We can feel something deep in us,
Something like recognition,
Something magnetic,
Something like the pull of gravity,
And maybe the pull is gravity in its literal sense.
Gravity pulls us to the earth,
Keeps us close,
Tethered,
Gathered in,
All of us here.
And when we feel those moments of deep connection to the earth's beauty,
It's as though we see beyond the mechanics of gravity into its mysterious heart,
That maybe it is the love between ourselves and the earth.
The earth keeps her loved ones close.
Our home,
Our planet,
Is the largest being that we will ever know.
This living,
Dynamic,
Spinning,
Dazzling blue planet is our friend and companion,
From the first breath to our last heartbeat.
So today we're going to deepen our connection to our companion earth by considering gravity as a sign of the love and companionship between us and our world.
Held firm to our giant friend and all of her gifts,
Spinning together in the infinite blackness of space.
Step four,
Beam.
Look around you now and observe the law of gravity and think of this.
The earth is always holding you close and let that realization fill you with gratitude today and beam that energy out from your heart to the earth and to the people that you meet today.
Have a beautiful day.
