Remember a Lake...

On the surface, the water of a lake experiences waves and tides caused by storms or wind. A stormy environment wreaks havoc on the otherwise smooth surface.  Yet beneath, in the depths of the lake, the water is calm, still, and silent.  Any storms from the exterior cannot touch or change what exists down deep.  Each of us are, too, like the lake, experiencing the waves and tides of events that happen in our lives. But within, our true, authentic self remains unchanged and untouched.  Our true self is forever calm, still, and peaceful, simply weathering the winds of our external life situation.

Your breath is a powerful tool for remembering and connecting to your authentic self. Make it your intention today to remain in touch with your breath and in turn with yourself. To find your breath and use it to remember your own stillness beneath the surface, especially when faced with challenging situations, people, or events that might pass your way.  Remember the real you, who is forever peaceful and unaffected by the changing weather of the exterior world.

“If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.”
― Eckhart Tolle

Namaste.
