When you are going through a difficult time, sometimes nothing you do to solve your problems seems to help. You struggle, but the changes don't seem to come. Can you stop struggling for a moment and recognize the goodness in the life you have right this moment? Try this centering practice for 3 to 5 minutes to open to the beauty of your life exactly as it is...
Sit comfortably.
Take a very deep breath in
and a very slow breath out.
Sit up very straight. Notice
that as your spine lengthens,
your heart opens.
Now breathe into the space
of an open heart-feel into
the space of and open heart.
A heart that is empty, a heart
that holds the whole world.
Breathe into a heart that
can hold the whole world.
Feel into a heart that can
hold the whole world.
Breathe into the sweetness
of this moment.
Feel into the sweetness of
this moment.
Allow yourself to be whole-
heartedly alive and well
in the life you have, now.
