You are alive.

Take a moment to slow down
and be more consciously aware of this simple
and very profound statement:

You are alive.

Take a few deep focused breaths,
expand your chest as you inhale,
and relax as you exhale.

Each and every breath is a gift
of being alive.

Pause and consider,
“What does being alive mean to you?”

Feel your body,
with curiosity and kindness to yourself.
Your body is alive.

Feel your body breathing,
and notice how it feels to be
in your body right now.

What does it feel like to bring wonder
to being alive?

Bring a big smile to your face,
how do you do that?
Just with a thought? An intention?
An internal decision?

There is so much wonder even in the
simple act of smiling.

Comfortably move your body,
maybe stand up and stretch.

Feel the wonder of being able
to move and feel your body.

Keep consciously breathing,
and bring a sense of wonder, as you experience
each deep breath.

The next breath is not for granted.
And the moment when our breathing stops
will also be right now.

You can begin to question things you may have
taken for granted.

To wonder, for instance –

That your living body functions
all by itself – it is living self-organizing intelligence,
running every system in your entire body.

To think, feel, and create.
To speak, share, and communicate.

Bring wonder perhaps,
to the comfort of a hug, the miracle of laughter,
the release in having a good cry.

The experience of beauty.

And your ever-evolving capacity
to love and be loved.

Explore the infinite ways in which
you can bring wonder to being alive and
discover the vistas of expanding consciousness
as wonder takes you on a magical journey.

Be open to feeling the ecstasy of being alive
in ways you have never even dreamed of.

The wonder of being alive.

Much Love from UPLIFT
