Always start with the inward breath…
In a week where it was almost impossible to meditate, I tried. Amazingly, the level of success was good. Things got done, there was less stress, considering my body was (for several days) rejecting the food it was provided with some speed. However, come the weekend and everything is finally working out.
Sometimes, you have to ignore the chaff and just focus on the seeds.
Inhale
With inward breath:
new drill begins.
Focus your brain,
release those sins.
A moment’s calm
in hectic day.
Expand belief,
anxiousness slayed.
Inhale allows
consciousness space.
Reducing fear
and heart-rate’s haste.
Now, look within,
identified:
Shortcomings marked,
not amplified.
To meditate
takes time, practice:
So much around
will deflect this.
Eliminate
distractions, then
Direct each thought,
start once again.
True clarity
appears by chance:
Brief moments grasped
training advanced.
When mind wanders
invite it back;
Find peace with self,
ignore what’s lacked.
Don’t hate yourself
Find love inside,
Halt stress and guilt
No need to hide.
To meditate,
a lifetime’s goal:
Your end result,
Awareness, whole.
