Breath deeply amidst the beauties of nature; absorb vibrations unsullied by pollution and cosmopolitan ways. Breathing mindfully brings balance into your life; strength is gained through the Breath of Life! Remember: breath is your life's companion! And, as you limit your breath, you limit life itself. Befriend silence: a balm to your soul. As you breathe in silence, your ear attunes to Spirit. You will understand the eagle. Breathe deeply! Breathe life!
LISTEN is such a little, ordinary word that it is easily passed over. Yet we all know the pain of not being listened to, of not being heard. In a way, not to be heard is not to exist. This can be the plight of the very young and the very old, the very sick, the "confused", and all too frequently, the dying -- literally no one in their lives has time or patience to listen. Or perhaps we lack courage to hear them.
We forget how intimate listening is, alive and fluid in its mutuality. It involves interaction even if no one moves a muscle and even if the listener says nothing. Vulnerability is shared when silence is shared.
