start
a list
call it
breath

write down
one
activity
during
your day
before it
occurs
breathe in
breathe out
your phone rings
breathe in
breathe out
return
each
breath
is an
invitation
to return
you may
not remember
you may
only
remember
after
that is
fine
this is
a start
in a few days
add another
activity
to your
list

practice: energy tracking
each
evening
pause
reflect
on the
emotions
of the day
what did
you feel
reaction
upset
shift
joy
write it
down
not to
fix
not to
change
just to see
how did
it feel
at first
it may be
difficult
stay
with it
each
evening
for
20 days
then
in the
middle
of the day
pause
reflect
on the
emotions
of the
morning
write it
down
in the
evening
write
again
for
20 days
you may
not
remember
that is
fine
you may
begin
to notice

arises

you are
lost

peace
om
inward to peace
as one
moves
outward
to grow
one
moves
inward
to
peace
is this
a paradox
growth
is often
imagined as
striving
expanding
reaching outward
peace
is often
imagined as
stillness
silence
return
are they
opposites
one
engages
life
to grow
through
relationship
through
challenge
through
the full range of
human
experience
responding
to reality
moment
by
moment
growth
is the
soul
discovering
peace
through
personality
learning
as reality
unfolds
peace
remains
as one
grows
one
softens
samskaras
dissolve
old patterns
lose
their hold
the mind
quiets
the heart
becomes
lighter
peace
is
always
here
growth
and
peace
are
one
one
unfolding
we grow
outward
returning
inward
we engage
life
to discover
stillness
we move
through
the world
coming
home
to soul
om
what comes first, thought or emotion
does thought
give rise
to emotion
or
does emotion
give rise
to thought
are both
true
as
personality is
presented with
reality
the ego
may stir
thought
thought
may then stir
emotion
as
personality
is presented
with reality
the ego
may stir
emotion
emotion
may then stir
thought
thought
is of mind
it may begin
the dance
emotion
is of heart
it may begin
the dance
thought
and emotion
touch
each other
they are
not separate
thought shapes
emotion
emotion shapes
thought
the cycle
continues
as ego
maintains
its hold
awareness
may break
its hold
one is not thought
one is not emotion
one is the space
in which both
arise
watch
and put
them
aside
om
