Inhale joy – Exhale, a long and total exhale breath whatever doesn’t serve you anymore.
Inhale abundance – Exhale a sense of lack.
Inhale deep and into every crevice, nook and cranny of your lungs – Exhale, stale, stagnant air.
Inhale serenity, exhale worry.
I encourage you to move beyond the word joy and to let yourself have a direct experience of the full force and power of what joy really is. With each inhalation, you breathe in the aliveness, the sparkle, the creativity, and the sense of possibility that exists in joy. The goal is to enjoy the innate intelligence of joy, and also its peacefulness, and its wholeness, and its loveliness.
Things aren’t always what they appear to be. The simple act of breathing beckons cosmic forces beyond our imagination. It is the “ha” of Hawaiian culture. It is the “chi” of Asian wisdom. It is Life for all. When you don’t know what else to do, when you cannot do anything else…just breathe. This calls to the divine. A prayer without words.
AMEN
