Present and in Presence (July 2021 Newsletter)
Be Present
In body,
be mindful of how you move, where you go, what is around you; in front; and behind.
In mind,
focus your attention on the simple task of breathing - spiritus in Latin, is the breath. Breathing in is the inspiration, breathing out is the expiration. So every time you breathe in, renew life, and with every exhale, or expiration, allow the moment to die.
Inhabit your body! Allow the mind to rest.
In breath,
respiration, the next breath, should be smooth, regular, slow, long, and deep. Think about each of these as you breathe and breathe again.
Be in Presence
You are perfect, having derived from Perfection. It is present within you all the time, making you the compassionate, naturally empathetic being that you are. There is no place for negativity here.
You are capable of Joy, (Ananda), because you instinctively know Truth (Sat), through Pure Consciousness (Chit), which is unconditional and beyond the thinking mind, to ultimately realize the combination known as Sacchitananda, (Sat, Chit, Ananda) - transcendence back to perfection!
Mindfully live each moment with gratitude and humility.
Namaste,
sipra
