Today we'll shift from our recent aspiration to live a less cluttered life to an aspiration to let some more fresh air into our lives.
In the classical image of home spring cleaning, it's not just about salvage and removal of the accumulated stuff inside, but about opening up the inside to receive what's on the outside. Letting new life in. Recognizing and welcoming new sights, new smells, new sounds. Undoing the latch on winter's tomb and opening up to spring's flow of energy.
We'll start this focus on fresh air with the most elemental practice there is, the practice of breathing. Today, please reserve some time to follow along with this basic meditation that works with the breath.
I like the idea of treating the "noise" in your head as just another extraneous noise. Works for me.
