Breathe in today…may you notice and name what is in your
heart…feel the energy of emotions.
Breathe in this moment…may you notice and name the weather
pattern of your soul (is it sunny or cloudy or stormy?).
Breathe in right here and now where God is meeting all that
is within you. This means not just your
intellectual thoughts or words, but those deeper emotions and energy and soul.
Breathe in acceptance and openness…breathe out disconnection
and distrust that close us off.
Breathe in curiosity and connection…breathe out embarrassment
and shame.
Breathe in frustration that tells you what is not
right…breathe out the superhero within us that wants to save everyone and
everything and fix the entire world.
Breathe and be…naming and noticing the energy of motion
within you.
Breathe and be…sitting with why you are
feeling…stress/tense/awe/love/courageous.
Breathe and be…realizing that just as you can have more than
one friend…you can feel more than one emotion at a time ~ even contradictory
emotions.
Breathe and be…how we let one emotion take the steering wheel
of life, pick the radio station, and force us to go in the direction.
Breathe and be…how always leaning on one emotion can cause a
rut in our brains and hearts and souls…but that we are created to feel more
than words could express.
Breathe and let out an audible sigh. Sigh louder.
Sigh so your neighbor can hear you.
In that sigh may there be all that is whirling and whipping within your
mind, heart, and soul. In that sigh may
you open space for the composure and conductor of life to enter in with a
melody of music.
I invite you to go and listen to a piece of music that opens
you to all the feels as a way of prayer.
