Today’s meditation was about being non-reactive when surrounded by commotion, about breathing and guiding yourself back to an internal place of quiet.

AND…what if I am the commotion?
What if I don’t have a peaceful place to return to?

What if I’m caught up in a pattern of instinctively heaping judgment on myself, as if I’m wrong to feel confused and chaotic inside?

– I breathe!

And I want to hide from the world.

– I breathe!

My breath creates a soft place for all of it to land.

And I squirm. I feel self-hatred and judge more.

– I breathe!

My breath tells me it’s okay to just sit with it.

And I get up to make tea.

– I breathe!

 

I remember that matter is neither created nor destroyed, it only changes shape. 

I remember I am still beautiful in the mess. I am still magic and grace in the chaos. I can be scared and still be resilient. I am power when feeling powerless.

My beauty, magic, grace, resilience and power cannot be destroyed. They only change shape from time to time.
