I was recently reminded of a beautiful meditation from the late Thich Naht Hahn. It is simple, and elegant, and for me has a significant effect on my bodymind.
Breathing in, I am a flower. Breathing out, I am fresh.
With each breath, repeat Flower:Fresh,
Breathing in, I am a mountain. Breathing out, I am solid.
With each breath, repeat Mountain:Solid,
Breathing in, I am still water. Breathing out, I am calm.
With each breath, repeat Still Water:Calm,
Breathing in, I am space. Breathing out, I am free.
With each breath, repeat Space:Free
Just typing it has opened my chest, and left a smile on my face. Enjoy!
