MONDAY MEDITATION
Letting the Peace of Meditation Invite You into a Space of Generosity
Being Open to the Possibilities
Get into a comfortable position.
Take a deep breath in as if you are smelling a rose.
Hold the breath for 4 counts before exhaling.
Exhale as if you are blowing out a candle, gently and slowly through your mouth.
Keep exhaling until your diaphragm becomes concave. Place your hand on your belly to feel the inward motion.
Repeat three more times.
TITLE BY THE NOTES
The man by the flowers
is giving with his tender care
The woman by the shelves
is giving with her dusty hands,
Him, by the trash bin,
gives with his inconspicuous hard work
Her, by the street, gives with the brightest smiles
Them, by the office, gives with their protective minds,
And father gives with his visionary love.
Mother gives with her fine-honed instinct
Sister gives with her passionate dreams,
Brother gives with his inspiring character
Nephew gives with his contagious laughter.
