This Moment

This moment - flying girl.jpg

Imagine this moment as a clearing
in the forest of your busy life.
Imagine the breath escorting you
into this clearing, into this moment.

Weave an affirmation into each breath.
Breathing in...I come home to my breath.
Breathing out...My breath grounds me.

If there is a regret that draws you into the past,
Breathing in...I acknowledge this moment.
Breathing out...I let go of the past.

If there is a fear that draws you into the future,
Breathing in...I enter into this moment.
Breathing out...I let go of the future.

Breathing in...
I receive the fullness of this moment.
Breathing out...
I have everything I need to be here, now.
