I sit, annoyed, frustrated, upset. I close my eyes. I start to pay attention to the thoughts causing my upset. My body is tense. My head heavy. “I could see peace instead of this”, I state. My breathing slows. I have to focus my mind on this statement instead of my upsets. “I could see peace instead of this”. The gaps between the thoughts of upset get wider with each breath. “I could see peace instead of this”. My breathing is rhythmic now. Alongside all of this, I feel gentleness come in beside me. “It’s all ok. All is well. We can resolve things this way… there’s no harm being done. I’m here with you.” My body is relaxed now, all tension gone. A breeze gently flows in from outside, and seems to sweep the remaining upsets straight from my mind. “I could see peace instead of this” has transformed my mind, and I am ready to carry on.
