Write an acrostic poem on any one of the following words:
Discipline;
Enthusiasm;
Meditation;
Tumult;
Trouble.
M E D I T A T I O N
Mental images flow like waves on the sea Engage your breath—in and out, soft and slow De-stress, let go, just be Imagine the nothingness, breath… Take time to focus on your love and kindness Accept any thoughts and let them go Trust the process, you’re a star in the sky Imagine breathing relaxation into your body Open your third eye No judgement—just breathe, just be
🙏🏻 Namaste 🙏🏻

Take time to focus on your love and kindness *le sigh*
I just read an article about meditation that said as little as 5 minutes a day of meditation improves the quality of your life. Thanks so much, Sadie. 🫶🏻
I’ve been learning Reiki. It takes a bit of practice, but I feel wonderful channeling healing energy into my body. I’ve been practicing on the cats too!
Lesley, thanks so much. I like the chakra aligning videos on Youtube. There are some nice short meditations along with breathing that really help me. 🙏🏻
Now, you made my day! The first Fairies, Myths, & Magic is dedicated to the summer solstice. I would love to write a book of poetry and stories for the Wheel of the Year!
