The Lesson of Breath

The Lesson of Breath

 As I have been writing and developing new meditations I cannot help but notice that the breath, simply the act of breathing in and breathing out, gives us a very valuable demonstration about life.  Without thought, without fear of lack our breath knows exactly what we need to take from the world around us and exactly what we need to let go of and release.  We cannot hold onto the breath and we cannot fail to let go of and release the breath. 

If we ponder upon the lesson this teaches us about life we can begin to trust that what we truly need is available for us without fear.  We can notice that we only need to take what we need and can use.  And, we can understand that only by releasing and letting go are we able to receive.  All of these little understandings are a part of the gift of each breath if we take the time to notice.

Dawn’s Light

Dawn’s Light

There is a special color that the sky has as the light of dawn dispels the darkness.  A quiet anticipation of the day ahead is filled with hope and promise.  In that moment, everything is possible.  The power to manifest is ours.  With a joyful heart, let us seize the day.

God’s in His Heaven

God’s in His Heaven

So often as the morning begins, as the beauty of the many colors of a cloud-filled sky join the emerging light of the day, I think of this phrase from Robert Browning’s poem Pippa Passes “God’s in his Heaven – All’s right with the world.”

The peace and the confidence and joy that using these words as an affirmation brings, sets the day with a perspective and attitude of anticipation.  It also brings forth the gratitude for the little blessings of life.

Each day gives us a new promise, a new opportunity to enjoy the many blessings that surround us, down to the snails on the thorn.  If we only look around us with awareness of the many simple gifts that life presents we can find so much to celebrate and enjoy.

 

     Pippa Passes

The year’s at the spring

And day’s at the morn;

Morning’s at seven;

The hill-side’s dew-pearled

The lark’s on the wing;

The snail’s on the thorn;

God’s in his Heaven –

All’s right with the world!

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

 

 

Ponder on this!
