Contemplate what’s around
you, take in each moment
as it comes.
Let yourself feel your
emotions without letting
them control you.
Focus on the pattern
and feel of your breath
as you inhale and exhale.
Accept where you are this
moment, and trust
your process of evolution.
Slow down and absorb what
you see, hear, taste, and
touch with every activity that
you do.
Who are you, really?
Could your beliefs about yourself be real,
but not the whole story?
Might it be that there’s nothing wrong with you, but like everyone, you’ve learned a way of being influenced by the cause and conditions of your life – the circumstances in which you’ve come to be in this world? And that it is possible to learn to live with a greater sense of groundedness, self compassion, and connection to those around you, personal freedom and a sense of joy?
