10th perspective second view

A cycle of the breath becomes part of my personal meditation. I meditate on the sound of creation using my breath as a focusing of attention. I reflect on the potential contained in each breath of any human being. Everything created or destroyed accompanies breathing. This includes the most exquisite joy to the worst invented horror. As we breathe, we breathe through. Literally through our lips, and also in the cycle that emotion comes and goes.

When ready, we can run back into the playfulness of our lives. We can be thankful for each breath and feel generous in what that breath accomplishes in service to our individual community.

Perspective Exercise #1: Breathing Meditation

As we play and then take a break, imagine creative energy flowing through our hands and right out through our fingertips. Through nine spheres of experience, through eight organs, through seven chakras, through six ages, through 5 unspoken truths, through four directions, through three eyes, through twin selves and through one divine breath. Or another other playful rendition.

We honor the creative energy that created us. We honor our ancestors, our families, and our friends who create us We honor all the objects with which we have come in contact and all we haven’t discovered yet. We, part of a universal organism, all exist as part of one universe, and we can honor the interconnection and release resistance. As a universal organism, we already have it all. So with our intent, we can wish for whatever we have truly longed. List as many wishes here as matter just now. Just hold the intent to receive them. Let us open our sense of being worthy to receive everything for which we wish. Once if not now, we knew we were worthy of everything for which we wish. Wrap up in that knowing.

As we breathe, consider listening to the world with an open compassionate heart. A listening love attaches no expectation; we can imagine that everything is as we wish already. We can savor how that feels. It, like the breathing cycle, shifts to receive awareness of what happens and accepts what happens next. Nothing really changes or remains fixed. Something heard meets something listened to. Listen to the world in this loving way. Listen with a type of fully engaged appreciation. The listening occurs. Remain open hearted. Breathing becomes the meditation on creative potential, the meditation on the breath of creation. It holds sounds to which we can always return.

Now let go; detach from what happens. Let time shift our awareness to some unfolding sensation. The playing occurs in this open potential field where much of anything can occur next. We can await whatever occurs and make it our next experience playfully. We play with all our heart and comfortably share everything that we receive. We won’t need to hold or covet anything because more continues flowing toward us, filling us with this great sense of playfulness. Ah, breathe.
