Namaste,
Sweet soul.
I would like to invite you to pause,
Even if just for a few moments.
As you pause,
Simply notice.
Nothing to change and nothing to fix.
As you continue to notice,
I invite you to bring awareness to your breath.
Perhaps this is the very first time today that you have noticed this exquisite miracle breathing your body.
That's okay.
Now dear one,
I invite you to acknowledge your ocean singing forth your existence.
As the thinking mind gets wrapped up in the tendency and desire to control,
We forget.
Our breath also acts as an incredible teacher in so many ways.
One of trust.
One of knowing.
One of instinct and intuition.
One of bringing us back to now.
One of our ability to surrender to the flow of this exquisite life.
Inhale deeply.
Exhale completely.
The breath does not need an instruction manual or any sort of calendar notification or alarm for us to remember to nourish the body with this nutrient.
The body does not cling to the inhale in fear that it will not return a following exhale.
Following the exhale,
The body opens without question and without fear to invite breath in once more.
We trust and we know that our ocean will continue even as we sleep.
We trust and we know that the breath will return again exactly when it is time.
Intimate and intuition require no asking for permission or questioning what our body needs.
We trust and we know.
Inhale deeply.
Exhale completely.
As you continue to acknowledge the breath washing through you,
Ebbing and flowing with natural grace,
I invite you to imagine also the current of a river.
As we breathe,
There is no force to inhale or resistance to exhale or vice versa.
Out of fear,
We fight and we struggle against the natural flow and current of life all too often.
The breath lovingly reminds us of the exquisite shores that we are capable of arriving at,
That span beyond the thinking mind or our wildest dreams.
The breath reminds us of this and offers to carry us over and over and over again,
Relying on that trust and on that instinct that we will be carried and we will be embraced through it all.
Breathing at our rebirths and at our new beginnings exactly when the time is right.
My dear sweet soul,
You can absolutely continue to fight against this natural current and flow of life.
Or you can surrender,
Dear one.
Consider and know that your ocean will carry you to exactly where you need to be,
Now and now and now.
Inhale fully,
Exhale completely.
There the breath delivers us to over and over and over again,
Reminding us that this moment is truly all that we have.
The breath reminds us that we cannot breathe or return to the past.
The breath reminds us that we cannot breathe or fast forward into the future.
We can only breathe right now.
Inhale fully,
Exhale completely.
Allow the anchor of your breath to drop into the depths of your ocean as you return into your body and into this moment.
Breathe,
Dear one,
Breathe and know that the false chains of control are no longer yours to clutch and they never were.
Inhale,
These feelings of control are only an illusion.
Notice the steady and ever-present reminder of breath,
How it flows freely in and out.
No need to remind this loyal miracle that is constantly whispering to us,
You are free if you allow yourself to be.
These feelings of control are only an illusion.
No one has tomorrow guaranteed,
So why must we fight against the gift of now?
Are you alive?
Are you breathing?
This is in and of itself a miracle.
These feelings of control are only an illusion.
With gratitude,
Inhale in life.
Release the grip of these reins which you have created with your mind and courageously exhale as you flow into your truest and most present state of being now and now and now.
Exhale as you flow into your truest and most present state of being now.
