To you, beautiful stranger,
The path stretches out before us. We walk with calculated slowness, with the faith that each step is taken in alignment with who we are, with our values and what we strive for: to live a decent life, to live a life that we will savor every moment of. We are thus invited to pause for a moment and contemplate. At the heart of contemplation, the mind goes quiet..
Ritual transmitted by Lydia Laschon:
1. Posture
Sit your feet anchored in the ground.
Relax your arms and shoulders.
2. Breathwork
Inhale 4 seconds…
Hold 2 seconds…
Exhale 6 seconds…
3 cycles
3. Belly
One hand on your belly.
Feel the rhythm.
Let your body know you are safe and protected.
4. Option : essential oil
1 drop of lavender or Copaiba in your hands
Breath gently.
Yes, let us pause for a moment, my dear, on this bench surrounded by oak, ash, and Scots pine trees. Let us listen to the messages our soul wishes to convey to us, marvel at the butterflies fluttering in the air and the flowers lining the path; let us remember those happy times, those moments shared together in the most beautiful simplicity..
With one word in mind, I'll leave you there, beautiful souls : Neshama.
With love and light,
Clara J.
