Food for Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul

There are those who dislike or even abhor
Those buckets from the sky
They move to places where precipitation is minimal
To ensure Lottsa light.

I, on the other hand, love wetness!
Buckets from Grace bestowed upon our heads
Purifying my mind and yours, whilst cleansing the earth.

When I was a kid I was convinced that the fall of liquid
Was a release from God of all the cumulative tears of Humanity
Added in, were personal cries of its own
For the aches of all his children.

Snuggled in my small bed, naked
Electric blanket beneath my buttocks
A furball’s purr close by
I breathe into the cocoon of this morning.

The pits and pats atop my roof and windows
An interesting sense of safety ovens and covets me
My heart abiding, in a solitude of stillness.

Nowhere to be, not a single commitment to fulfill
A responsibility to self and an ever so gently prompting from the world
A message, to relish in the yum of my freedom
And at least for today, Be, as presence is!

The breath, a freely given present in every moment
Yet today, in the shade drawn darkness, I snuggle; intimately with me
Setting my intention, to do nothing and allow the manna to drizzle all over me
Mind, body, heart, and soul.

In my vulnerability, which I honor as holy
I will proceed about the hours.

Maybe I’ll stand outside barefoot
And permit my feet to absorb the newness and innocence of where I step
Perhaps I will make popcorn, watch a flick, or meditate.

Whatever happens, I’ll aim to Be, as Here and as Now as I can
Keeping tally and track in my journal
Of all things large and small; for which my gratitude
Shall be aptly recorded.

May it be so, that for each one
Shelter is found, nourishment provided
Peace graced, loneliness and depression lifted.

For it is truth that as I speak and scribe
My tender, heated heart’s intent comes to fruition for each one.

May it be so that the powers within and those apparently outside
Unite somewhere in me and each one today and all tomorrows.

I bow down to this rainy day which has just barely begun
May the goodies, of Peace, Joy, Compassion, and Forgiveness
Be the trademark of all the future hours.

And, may magic and miracles big and little
Permeate the one heart beating, within the guise of many.

Curiosity

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes. As we put aside opinions, concepts, projections, and expectations: we become available to experience this moment with the wonder and innocence of a child. 

Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space to explore: “What is this?” “What am I experiencing?” “What am I feeling?”

4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions. 

5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.

6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.

7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it. 

Take 5 Deep Breaths

1. Feel your body.

2. Relax your shoulders.

3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.

4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.

5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.

Feel Your Body

Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Be curious about what is happening in your body. Without changing anything, just notice what you are feeling. Notice where you are feeling things in your body. Make yourself more comfortable if you’d like. Take a deep breath, and feel the sensation of aliveness and the energy of your body.
