28th DAY-
As I'm writing this today I am thinking of all the processes we have been through this month. Each day, I have tried to give you a different perspective in a different way. The one constant that hasn't varied has been taking time for your daily breaths. I can't stress enough the importance of the breath. It will take you within and will guide you to find your own answers as you need them.
Today sit with your back straight, your neck straight and your eyes gently closed. Place your palms in your lap with the right palm supporting the left palm and the thumbs gently touching each other. As you breathe in, breathe in through your nose and as you breathe out, breathe our through your lips. Don't try to control the breath, just let it flow with ease. Now, I want you to visualize and not just in your mind's eye, but "feel" the breath coming in though your heart as you're breathing in and as you're breathing out, feel it leaving through your heart. Continue to breathe through your heart and feel the continuous flow of energy passing through your heart. As you breathe in, breathe in with love and as you breathe out share that love. As you breathe in, think of someone you love and as you breathe out feel yourself sharing your love with them with the breath out. As you continue to breathe, feel free to bring other people whom you love to mind and do the same with them in mind. If you feel like having more than 10 breaths today, by all means do so. As you finish your breaths, visualize giving those breaths to yourself in love and with compassion. Feel the peace and balance that comes with allowing yourself to feel that love. Sit silently with your eyes closed once you're finished and allow the process to settle in every cell of your body and mind. There is no goal here. Just be.
Enjoy your day...
Some time during the day today, breathe through your heart. You don't have to close your eyes, if it's not possible to do so.
Tonight, be aware of how breathing through your heart has made you feel for the past two days. In gratitude and with full intention practice your ten breaths in the same way you did this morning. Ease yourself to sleep in the knowledge that you love and you are loved.
Sweet dreams...
Namaste- the love that lies in my heart, is the same love which lies in yours.
