Breath Meditation with Christmas Morning Poem

A guided meditation to quiet your mind as you breathe in compassion and peace. Julie Potiker completes the mediation with her poem, "Christmas Morning Meditation".-Christmas Morning Meditation, by Julie PotikerThe carob trees are packed with beesA susurrus of soundMy mind this morning a busy placeThoughts bouncing all aroundI drop my awareness to my feetPlant them firmly on the groundReturn my awareness to my breathAnd let myself drop downDown to peace and quietAt least for just a bitThen pop pop comes another thoughtThis one could make me quitI give myself a hug and smileI see where this is goingA poem is arisingFrom yesterdays brave knowingA woman shared her challengeIn quieting her mindI said the work is noticingAnd bringing it back each timeI know she has inspired meTo create this little rhymeTo those that meditated with meyesterdayI thank you - it was sublime!Christmas Morning Meditation by Julie Potiker.Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".
