Day 126 “The Usefulness of Emptiness”

Sit comfortably, feet planted on the floor, back straight, palms up.

Breathe deeply, one, two, three, four. Hold, one, two, three, four.  Exhale, one, two, three, four.  Hold, one, two, three, four.  Repeat.

I breath deep into the bottom of my belly, imagining it filling up, then forcing the air out, and with it all my tension.  Emptying.

Did I remember to change the wash over?

Start again.  Breathe deeply.  Feel my feet on the floor.  Hear my heart beating.  Surrender to the calm.  Let go.

A heaviness washes over me.  It has been a trying time.  So many challenges.  I am weary. 

Breathe in, one, two, three, four.  Hold, one, two, three, four.  Release the tension.  Exhale, one, two, three, four.  Hold, one, two, three, four.  Open to new possibilities.  Breathe them in.  Feel the expansion.  Let go of the burdens.  Release the fear.  Make room.  Make room.  Breathe.

I am a vessel of light, empty, anticipating.

The phone rings. 

Hold on.  Breathe.  Let it all flow through.  Be empty.  Breathe.

There is room.  There is time.  There are no limits.

I am renewed.   All is well.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
