16TH DAY-
To have peace in our lives we must make an effort to bring peace to our minds. It’s essential that we give our minds a break. This carries through to the body. They are not separate. One cannot be at peace if the other one isn’t. The body is always listening and experiencing what the mind tells it. That is where making space for yourself becomes primary in the process. Without it, peace can’t happen. Let’s repeat the same process we did yesterday. Please don’t try to have a specific experience. Take what the breath gives you in the process. No two times in this process will ever be the same. They will each shine in their own beauty….
Sit comfortably, making sure your back is straight and put your hands comfortably in your lap. Hold your left palm in your right palm, both palms facing toward the sky. Let the thumbs gently touch each other. Try not to move your body during the process. Observe your breath as you are breathing in and as you are breathing out for 5 breaths.. Then as you breathe in mentally say “so” and as you breathe out mentally say “hum.” Create a space between your inhalation and your exhalation. Pause only between “so” and “hum”. Be aware of that space and let the mantra flow around it. Allow yourself to get lost in the process. Flow with the experience without any expectations. Release the mantra when it naturally happens. Stay there, in your stillness. When ready to open your eyes, do so gently and softly.
In this pause, space is created and stillness happens….
Namaste-That stillness that my mind creates is the same stillness your mind creates.
Sweet dreams…
