Bring your awareness to focus on something in your life that
is changing or ending or dying right now.
Breathe gently as you consider
whatever transition is most significant right now in your life.
Note; any
feelings that arise—
trepidation,
excitement,
resistance,
anger,
annoyance, or
grief.
Every time your feelings get the better of you, become aware of your
breathing.
Meet your troubled and contracted feelings with your calm and
expansive breath.
Breathe, sigh, and stretch out on the river of change.
Remember
times when you have resisted change in the past.
Regard how things turned out
in the end—maybe not how you thought they would or you wanted them to, but in
the end, there you were, Wiser, stronger, still alive.
Tip your hat to the
poignancy of death and the promise of rebirth.
Smile.
Relax.
Allow yourself to
break open.
Sit tall, with dignity and patience, watching your breath rise and
fall, rise and fall.
Pray for the courage to welcome this new change with
openness and wisdom.
Then open your eyes, go back into your life, and do what
you have to do, but do it
with grace,
with hope, and
with a lighter touch.
