Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment, fully alive and aware. If you use this poem during sitting or walking meditation, it can be very nourishing and healing. Practice each line for as long as you wish.
Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out. In – out.
Breathing in, I calm my body and my mind. Breathing out, I ease everything. Calm – ease.
Breathing in, I smile. Breathing out, I release all my worries and anxieties. Smile – release.
Breathing in, I establish myself in the present moment. Breathing out, I know this is a wonderful moment. Present moment – wonderful moment.
In – out; deep – slow, calm – ease, smile – release, present moment – wonderful moment.
