EMBODIMENT

When lost in the maelstrom of thinking mind and swirling emotion, it can be helpful to drop down into your body and sense. Sense what is present now…warm, cool, pain, pressure, clothing, air, comfort, discomfort. Be the observer, embodying your body. Cultivating a felt-sense awareness, even of discomfort, can be centering.

In mindful presence,

Awareness Knowing Itself

Settle in the here and now.
Reach down into the center
where the world is not spinning
and drink this holy peace.

Feel relief flood into every
cell. Nothing to do. Nothing
to be but what you are already.
Nothing to receive but what
flows effortlessly from the
mystery into form.

Nothing to run from or run
toward. Just this breath,
Awareness knowing itself as
embodiment. Just this breath,
awareness waking up to truth.
