A POEM, A BREATH

In the eye of a storm, there is calm.
In the midst of chaos, order.
In the center of conflict, peace.

As on the ebb and flow of tide,
my breathing carries me, until
I Am the breathing, and the ocean.

An ocean of consciousness,
I Am that I Am.
Bounded by earth and sky,
It Is what It Is.

In the purity of perfection,
the mind rests and is still,
the heart unshields and is open,
the spirit leaps to be free.

Free to express the source of all love,
free to express the source of all life.

I Am that I Am, and
It Is what It Is.

So I rise above the storm,
undisturbed by the chaos,
untouched by the conflict.

And the voice speaks,
'Keep your eyes upon me
in the midst of the storm,
saith the Lord I Am.
For there will be a storm,
yet you remain forever free.'

Breathe in, breathe out,
like the ebb and flow of tide,
I Am that I Am - It Is what It Is.

This poem is derived from the 'Heart Breathing Mantra',

***

A simple version of the 'Heart Breathing Mantra' is this:

When you are ready, move into a comfortable position,
with your eyes open or closed.

Calm your mind, relax your body,
and connect to yourself as pure, radiant, consciousness.

Visualize, with feeling, the Present Moment Sphere
encompassing your body.

Breathe Present Moment Light,
deeply into the sphere around your heart.

Exhale the Light from your heart sphere, out through your body,
radiating the energies into your Present Moment Sphere.

Continue to breathe light energies,
between the sphere around your heart,
and your Present Moment Sphere,
for as long as you choose.

Be the breathing, as you continue
to visualize the Present Moment Sphere.
Like the ebb and flow of tide,
​the rhythm of breathing carries you.
​Now, add these words to your breathing,
​inhaling them deeply and feeling their energy.

Inhale - I Am that I Am
Exhale - It Is what It Is

Continue as long as you choose, or intuitively feel.
