Reflection

I think taking time for yourself to just sit back and "empty the brain" for a moment is a terribly difficult thing for most of us to do. At least it is for me. I'm not referring to falling asleep at night or napping during the day. I'm talking about something like a relaxation therapy exercises or meditation.

I mean our lives are so full of things to do, places to go and people to see aren't they? So lets take a few minutes to really dig down and pull the plug. If you are really a task driven, "type A" go getter, super achiever, Energizer Bunny kind of a character, think of this as a personal challenge to enrich your psyche and make you stronger to race through everything else you do.

Yes, recharge your psyche! A reminder that your core is people too. Remember, the more you do anything the better you get at it. This is to be read slowly with a lot of pauses. Maybe even have someone read it to you as you go off. Think of this as a starting point and above all - Enjoy the trip!

You are amazing, what you glean

when you hold still and breathe

It is wonderful, what you hear

when you fall silent and give ear

beautiful colors and magic unfold

as your eyes slowly close

Release your minds-eye away

from the trials of the day

Look beyond the shallows of now

past the depths of all you know

Lift up on the wings of your angels

give them full latitude, etherial trust

This is you, where you are

this is your place to be free

Embrace all you have of yourself

in these moments of splendid reprieve
