MPDR Archives Blog Post #59 - September 23, 2014

Pause in this moment
Bring awareness to the next three breaths 

Make a conscious choice:
Would it be helpful to extend this pause with a 3 minute breathing space?

Here is a link to a guided 3 minute breathing space with gratitude to Sarah Housser: http://www.themindfulnessclinic.ca/wp-content/uploads/Three-Minute-Breathing-Space-Sarah-Housser.mp3

Enjoy this poem about renewal written by my dear friend Michele Chaban:

Being There

The rains that fell,
Begin
The change.
Distinguishing
tree tops
From their seasoned green .
Brown to yellow.
Orange to burgundy.
Reds.
And then, yet another rain
will unteather those leaves,
helping them fall.
They will cloak the earth
Protecting it against
winter’s cold and white.
Those leaves
become the earth,
covering tree roots and grass.
Until
another bloom of green bursts forth,
to begin anew.

-Michele Chaban


Have a mindful day
