Nourishment Meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh
"breathing in, i know i am breathing in.
breathing out, i know i am breathing out.
breathing in, i see myself as a flower.
breathing out, i feel fresh.
breathing in, i see myself as a mountain.
breathng out, i feel solid.
breathing in, i see myself as still water.
breathing out, i reflect all that is.
breathing in, i see myself as space.
breathing out, i feel free."
~this meditation exercise can be practiced in the first part of any period of sitting meditation, or for the whole of the meditation period to nourish & calm the body and mind, to enable the meditator to let go and attain freedom.
may every breath we take in be full of love, every breath we put out be full of gratitude and above all else may peace prevail on earth.
namaste!
