INVITATION

Take a comfortable, upright posture.

Become aware of your body.

Become aware that you are supported by Mother Earth.

Become aware of your breath moving through your body.

Become aware that you are breathing with Mother Earth.

Remaining aware of your breath moving through your body,

Repeat to yourself inwardly:

My body is part of me. I am not my body.

My thoughts are moving energy in the field of my awareness. I am not my thoughts.

My emotions are waves in the sea of my awareness. I am not my emotions.

I am not my family, my ancestry, my religion, or my nationality.

I release all of these identifications. I offer them to Mother Earth.

As I continue mindfully breathing, I settle into the ground of my being.

I remain There.
