Get out of your mind’s traps.

Lighten up.

Let go of illusions.

The world won’t end if you take a break.

You are here to thrive

not just to survive.

Remember,

no matter how much you accomplish

there is always much more to do.

For a couple of minutes

drop all thoughts of the things that

you have to do,

are responsible to do,

are expected to do…

Take a deep breath.

Ignore the noises in your head.

Let them be.

Re-live the silence of a meditation.

Listen to your heartbeat

you may be taking for granted.

Feel the divine energy

 flowing through your body.

Feel the tingly sensations

in your head, hands and heart.

Pay attention to the miracle of cells in your body

working lovingly to sustain you.

Give thanks for the organs in your body

tirelessly working

to keep you alive and happy.

Feel the loving hands of mother Earth

under your feet.

Touch a tree and feel

the loving energy it radiates.

Feel the loving energy of the sun

on your face.

Recall the energy of your loving mother

holding you.

Recall the passions you had

as a child.

Recall the times that you

felt connected.

Take deep breath

unplug for a bit

and be.
