Breathing: A Gift of Presence

elements

Presence is a value that I hold dear in my being and I have received messages aligned with the I Am Presence over the last few days.

When I was feeling tired on Monday evening, I lay down to rest and wondered to myself:
will I be able to focus on my breath and simply breathe for at least ten minutes without any music?

So I did.

Flowing with the slow rise and fall of my chest and belly. Observing the self-doubt and letting it go. Turning down the lights in my mind’s space and getting quiet within myself. Relaxing my jaw and detaching my tongue from the roof of my mouth, allowing it to rest. Breathing in… Breathing out… Creating a space within me. A soft landing place for my mind to rest.

It was only on hindsight that I realised: a shift had occurred.

I felt like my breath and body became one, a melting within, an embrace. My breath buoyant with my body, floating. My soul was so calm, at complete ease and resting within the spaces of my body. The moment of realisation was so delicate like the glistening reflection of sunlight on water. A surrendering within. An intimate connection with myself, within myself. Feeding my body with silence, as my beautiful friend Meg Archambault said in her tiny messages.

There was nothing more that I needed. I allowed myself to simply be, in this moment. It is like creating a sacred space within myself, making this time for myself, as I would sit and pray at my altar. Complete devotion to me.

Sitting in the silence within the space of my body has been a practice that’s pulled at me over this week. Focusing on the breath and becoming present in my body is also my go-to practice to lift myself off stress, anxiety and release any tension that I am holding onto in my body. Allowing myself to be.
