Peace, Patience, Poise, Presence

Inhale: "I am"
Exhale: "Peace"
Feel a sense of calmness fill your body. Relax your face and shoulders. Find an area where you can let go of tension. Repeat this mantra as many times as you want.

Inhale: "I am"
Exhale: "Patient"
Life often moves more slowly than we'd like it to. Cultivate a sense of patience and rememember, it's about the journey, not the destination.

Inhale: "I am"
Exhale: "Poised"
Lengthen your spine. Connect with your inner and outer poise. Allow thoughts to pass by like clouds in the sky. Try not to attach to them or push them away. Deepen your breath.

Inhale: "I am"
Exhale: "Present"
Really *feel* the sensation of your breath as it flows in and out through your nose. The breath is what keeps you alive; the awarness of the breath is what keeps you anchored in the present moment. Feel a sense of gratitude for every single breath. Namaste

Michelle, I'm signed up for the newsletter and wanted you to know how blessed I am to receive it.

You are a wonderful person and I wanted to send some warm happy space around you.

I am sure you read Thich Naht Hanh and I was going to quote him until I fell upon the following ...

"The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them,
while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves." Kahlil Gibran
