Resistance is the same
As attachment
Holding us back
From flow
And ease
Trust.
Yet being in the body fully
Breathing
Surrendering
To this now moment
The only moment
That matters
Is freedom.
Accepting
Embracing
Welcoming
All sensations
And all that arises
Giving the mind
A new job
To focus
On the in-breath
and out-breath
Feeling rather than trying
Is the secret.
Following rhythmically
Without pushing
Without pulling
Noticing
Where the breath gets stuck
Where tension,
Constriction stops flow
Stops life
Where thoughts distract
Where thoughts lead to reaction
And keeps us from truth
Seeing that beliefs
are but repeated thoughts
And fears
are just imagined horrors.
And without effort
Continuing to breathe
Inviting the mind
to join the body
In each precious moment
Coming back to center
Spine straight
Grounded
Staying here
No-where to go
Now-here
Now
