29th DAY-
You have been breathing through your heart and I hope you were able to feel the infinite love within you. Continue to do so and you will feel the expansion happen without any effort. Let's take your breath work a little further 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 out 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 gratitude and as you breathe out, do so with gratitude. As you breathe in, think of someone you are grateful for and as you breathe out feel yourself sharing your gratitude with them with the breath out. As you continue to breathe, feel free to bring other people for whom you are grateful to mind and do the same with them in mind. If you feel like having more than 10 breaths today, please do so. As you finish, visualize those breaths for you and the beautiful being you are, with gratitude and with compassion. Feel the joy and ease that comes with allowing yourself to be grateful. 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.
Bring gratitude to it's rightful place in your heart and stand back and watch magic happen. Today find at least three moments in which to be grateful. If you think you have nothing to be grateful for, continue your search throughout your day until you find that moment. Don't stop there. Continue your search. It's not gratitude that matters most; it's the searching for it that makes the difference. It's a real shift in perspective when your heart and mind come together to go through the day searching and finding that for which to be grateful. Before you know it, it becomes your nature. Where the focus goes is where the energy goes. If the focus is on gratitude then that is where your mind and heart will go. Guide them.
Tonight I hope your heart will be so full that you will be taking your ten breaths with a sense of wholeness. Allow them to happen spontaneously and watch the difference that focus made on your life today. Breathing in gratitude means you are living in gratitude. Ease yourself to sleep in the knowledge that you have uncovered that place within your heart and mind where gratitude thrives.
Sweet dreams...
Namaste- the place of gratitude within me, is the same place of gratitude within you.
