The Practice of Being Present

by Danna Faulds

Attend the breath.

Let the rhythm slow and settle.

Filling and emptying, draw the outside in, and then release.

Simplicity and ease.

Nothing to do but breathe, relax, and feel the free movement of air and life force,

watch the play of energy and sensation, allow everything to be,

without the need to change or fix or make it different.

This moment, you can listen to your soul.

This breath, you can have no goal but being.

You are already complete.

This, just this, is what it means to be whole.

I have let stress and anxiety back into my life.  It's been given an eviction notice.  Not going to a yoga class on a regular basis has really affected me, but that's no excuse.  Yoga can be done anywhere, and I have not made it a priority in my life lately.  That is changing, and I will be starting now! 

I hope that you have a glorious weekend!

Food for Thought

 Just for Now

by Danna Faulds

Just for now, without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness.

Just for now, lay down the weight you so patiently bear upon your shoulders.  Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite expanse of the sky grow even wider as your awareness reaches up to meet it.

Just for now, allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.  Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.

Just for now, be boundless, free, with awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.  

Drink in the possibility of being who and what you really are - so fully alive that the world looks different, newly born and vibrant, just for now.
