This is an easy meditation for anyone to enjoy, quietly.
Go outside to a secluded space.
Put your bare feet into dirt.
Close your eyes and speak lovingly to yourself
with your voice within:
“Beloved One,
Keep light in your heart. Feel the heart light.
Feel relief — you don’t even need to Breathe.
You don’t even need to
Be.
Done with all,
Visualize
your toes
slowly catching fire — one by one.
Slowly burning.
The flame, slowly rising.
Gradually consuming
toes and bones and body.
See yourself as a pile of Ash that
Blows and scatters in the next slight wind.
Sssssssssaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
hhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuu
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
As you blow about and settle on Light and Breeze,
you dust the world. You dance with the light of dawn,
A ring, a ring of roses.
Ashes. Ashes.
We All Fall Down.
Now, Inhale Deeply.
Wiggle your toes. Spread your toes. Laugh at your funny feet.
Behold the connection feet kissing Earth here now.
Feel grateful for these toes and for this breath,
and every breath.
Bow to the Breath and bow to the Death within you.
These words resonated:
“Close your eyes and speak lovingly to yourself
with your voice within:
“Beloved One,
Keep light in your heart. Feel the heart light.
Feel relief — you don’t even need to Breathe.
A profound reflection on the need to care for ourselves.
Clanmother, thank you for discovering a resonance. I appreciate self care in all forms. These days I am enjoying extra self care in long walks and long baths. What kinds of self care do you like?
I share you enjoyment of walking! I have a stack of books and lots of tea!!!🤗🤗🤗
