Hari Om

Today’s sit really honed in on the simple practice of three breaths as a way to begin to bring peace and quietude into our daily activities and relationships. The implications of taking a pause can be huge and long-lasting, helping to guide us into a place of solace within ourselves. I am not going to spend a lot of words on describing this right now, except to say that I have found, for myself, a key to unlock doors I thought were closed, or ones that were closed for so long and hidden so well, I thought they were walls, with the simplest of practices. You can go in for whatever methods you would like, and will no doubt find some really helpful and life-changing results; and still you will be breathing in and out all day, and night, for the rest of your life. So, why not incorporate that into your practice?

It is through the steadfastness of breath that we can become in sync with the movement and cycles of our body. And it is through the body that we open the pathways into emotions, thoughts, fears, loves, joys, sorrows, and everything that a material existence has to offer and teach us! Amazing, really! When we get in touch with our body, we can feel the magic of connection to everything we have ever known, and know that it is all at the center of who we are. We are not the center of the universe, yes, and it is at the center of who we truly are.

At Blackwater Pond Mary Oliver At Blackwater Pond the tossed waters have settled after a night of rain. I dip my cupped hands. I drink a long time. It tastes like stone, leaves, fire. It falls cold into my body, waking the bones. I hear them deep inside me, whispering oh what is that beautiful thing that just happened?

Life is that beautiful thing, again and again and again and again.

All In Love,

Michael
