Sitting comfortably, hands relaxed, breathing through the nose only, read this poem silently to yourself.
With each line, enjoy a full breath, inhale and exhale. Ah!
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.

ReplyDeleteDear Bethany,
ReplyDeleteHere's a poem a friend gave me. I thought of it when I read your mediatation.
Mary Ellen
My Name is I AM
I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking:
"My name is I AM"
He paused. I waited. He continued.
"When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not I WILL BE.
When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here.
My name is I AM."
