Let
the flow of your breath connect you with yourself and all of
life.
Bring your attention only to the place you are sitting. Be aware
only of the space that your body is occupying. Relax your
forehead.
Now feel the flow, the flow and touch of the breath in your
nostrils, breathing gently, slowly, smoothly. When you come to the
end of your breath, make no stop; immediately begin to feel the
next breath.
To the awareness of your breath, add one though, such as your
favorite name of god from your own spiritual tradition, or a sacred
phrase from your own favorite spiritual text. If you do not believe
in any of these, you may exhale, lengthening “one” your exhalation,
“two” with your inhalation without ceasing.
Whichever word of name of God you have chosen, exhale and think
that name, without a break, inhale thinking the same name. Feel
your breath flow in your nostrils.
Observe how your breath, your mind, and the name are flowing
together as a single stream. Maintain the flow and gently open your
eyes. Maintain the flow even with your open eyes. Resolve in your
mind to calm your mind in this way, many, many times a day.
Whatever you do with your mind repeatedly will become your mind’s
habit, and it will rediscover its own original calm nature.
Whenever you have two minutes or three, come back to yourself, to
the true home of your consciousness. Let the ripple subside and let
the mind enjoy its own
peace.
