Take Your Breath With You

The day starts busy
and that is okay
The mind wakes up busy
and this is okay
but wait...
What can I do
to spiritualize my life
so that my connection to the source
is always by my side?

and so ...

"Dear child live your life
find the courage to silent your  mind from time to time
The overwhelming challenges that seem to take you out of this light
is just a stepping stone when you realize the divine.
So here it is simple and pure
Find your breath, feel your breath, focus on your breath
Even as these words fill this sheet.
Don't try to complicate it all
with fancy dialog and practices
keep it simple
just observe your breath.
Take a moment slow down
and breath
Embrace the busyness where life takes you
for this is how it is supposed to be right now
and breath through it
keep it simple
As you bring space into those moments.
Don't wish to change your life
from not engaging in it
Awaken the fearless warrior and embrace it
Just find some space while you breath through it
Dear child.
This is how you can spiritualize your life today!"

Synopsis:
During my meditation this morning it was a busy mental one.  lots of thoughts and worries and what I have to do today etc.... I tried to do some of the different techniques that are a little difficult and fancy at times when I am so distracted.  And then it came... "Stephanie... just keep following your breath - keep it simple"  and just like that there was an awakening after a few minutes.  A little space from my busy mind.
