Mothers Day

With great love and respect in my heart, I welcome you to this beautiful Sunday morning.

Before we begin today, let's take a moment to just arrive, settle down, and be present.

So wherever you are, just pull your spine straight, open your shoulders, lighten your mind, close your eyes.

Invite that peace, calming, cooling sensation in your eyes.

Relax your facial muscles, neck, shoulders, spine, softening the belly, get grounded, grounded.

Let all the restlessness, anxiousness settle down, the way sand settles in a glass of water.

Effortlessly, breath is flowing in and flowing out.

This breath is called pranamay bhagwati, the divine mother in the form of pran, life force.

With each visit, with each visit, we get a new life.

Holding that gratitude for this priceless gift, let's just watch her coming and going.

How grateful we are for this visit.

Just welcoming her with gratitude, sweetness in our heart.

What does gratitude feel inside? This body is a temple, is a home, house.

Mind is the host.

Breath is the guest.

A guest who brings the precious gift of life with each visit.

If she doesn't come, we all know what happens.Holding the attention at the navel, let's pause the breath for a moment.

[clears throat] Hold the pause as long as you are comfortable, then slowly release it.

Pausing again.

Full attention at the navel, totally grounded.

There's a feeling of expansion from within in the pause.

After a normal breath, couple of breaths, we take the attention to the heart.

And pause the breath there for a moment.

Calmness in the eyes, body soft, no tension, feeling of expansion.

And release.
