Breathe


Breathe in. Breathe out.
I do not own you
Breathe in. Breathe out.
We are both souls journeying
Breathe in. Breathe out.
I do not know your karma, your path, or what is best for you.
Your suffering is not my responsibility
My suffering is not your responsibility

Breathe in. Breathe out.
We are fellow souls journeying
We may take different paths
While we travel together, I want to travel in joy.
Let's be. Enjoy.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Will you travel in joy?
Loving truth more than being right.
Living in the fire of spirit
Looking forward to the limitless potential

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Smile and soften
It's not as serious or as difficult as you think
Sthira sukham asanam
Continuing practice
All is practice. Life is practice.
Enjoy your practice.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Lift. Twist. Lighten.
Stand up!
Sink into your heels.
Lengthen through your spine.
Open your heart.
Burst your heart forward out of your chest.
Breathe in. Breathe out.

Breathe in "Thank you". Breathe out "Guru"
Teacher. Parent. Friend. Lover. Guru
Boss. Stranger. Child. Self. Guru.
Pain. Joy. Confusion. Life. Guru.
Breathe in "Thank you". Breathe out "Guru"

Do your best.
I fully and completely forgive you
to the best of my ability at this time.
Yes, even you stiff hip and negative emotion
I forgive you.
Breathe in "Let". Breathe out "Go".
I let go of this pain, this suffering.
I no longer need to define myself by my limitations.

Embrace and let go.
I embrace all I am and feel at this moment.
Fully opening my heart and my senses.
Now.
I let go of all I feel and know.
Freeing myself to be present.
Eternal circle.
Embracing all and letting it all go.

I am here. I am NOW.
Breathe in anger. Breathe out jealousy
Breathe in fatigue. Breathe out restlessness.
Prepare. Breathe.
Turn your world upside down.
Stand on your head.
Turn your perceptions upside down.
Take your superior mind and
place it inferior to your feet.

All is intention. All is attention.
Don't be stingy. What are you waiting for?
Inhale. Lift up.
Breathe in. Breathe out.

Let go and let God.

Om shanti, shanti, shantihi

Peace.
