....been trying to change my funky nervous system wiring [result of chemotherapy, cancer, and meds that are a double-edged sword] through regular meditation practice. Book recommendation: 'You Are Not Your Pain'. This poem, a reminder:
Breathing Lesson
Breathing in I see the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I hear the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I smell the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I taste the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I touch the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I know the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I feel the pleasure of the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I am content with the world;
breathing out I know I’m alive.
Breathing in I release the world;
breathing out I know I'm alive....
