Becoming conscious of the flow of breath, in-filling the abdomen,

Breathing out letting go………………………

With each breath of awareness I join more fully with the place of stillness within…………………

The still place inside of every cell and atom of my being

Stillness saturates and soothes the physical, emotional, and mental capacities.

I am peace; I feel the movement of the breath…

I stay with the silent place indwelling

And allow the wholeness therein to diffuse throughout my being………………………

I am awake to my breathing, flowing with the in and out breath………

I stay with the wakeful breathing for another few moments

Before I am ready to move into activity I send my appreciative thoughts

within to the spiritual Essence enlivening me, to the whole being for supporting me

and to the Source of life for sustaining me.

I stretch from within including the physical abode in readiness

to look upon the world anew, Amen
