9th DAY.
Peace is about giving ourselves what we need. Before we can give to others, we have to be able to have nurtured ourselves so that we are full, and from that fullness we can share. Otherwise, what may happen is that we attempt to give that which we don’t have. It leaves us in a state of uncertainty and loss. Observe the richness of what we have- The breath, our life source. In getting to know that, we can go deep within to know all that we are and are not. We get to now how rich we are. We can thrive in a state of abundance, equanimity, love and observe life’s changes from that state. Observing our buckets being filled one beautiful drop at a time, enjoying the process.
Take your breaths in the same way you took your breaths last night, 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. Observe your breath as you are breathing in and as you are breathing out. Deliberately create a space between each inhalation and exhalation. Observe the space between each breath in and each breath out. Pause and take a moment to experience the fullness of the inhalation, and pause and take a moment to experience each exhalation. Feel what that space gives you. Release all expectations and flow with what the experience gives you… Stay there as long as you like. When ready to open your eyes, do so gently and softly.
In this state of relaxation is where the body is able to heal. Give yourself the space to heal….
Ease yourself into a state of relaxation and gratitude. Where there is gratitude there is no room for fear or anger.
Sweet dreams…
