Breathe

06:56 A very simple breath meditation this morning.  I realized that I did not pray at all yesterday when I was meditating.  Usually I do but typically do not blog anything about it.  Anyway, I felt remiss in not praying so I started my meditation with prayer.  As I opened up to spirit, I just noticed my breath.  I would notice every aspect of my breath coming in and leaving.  As I inhaled, I would imagine that the breath coming in was the essence of all things outside of me.  It is the essence of all of my brothers and sisters who have come and gone before me and all presence here today.  I would breathe it in and let it flow through my blood, embracing all it had to offer.  As I would exhale, I imagined that was breathing a part of me into the world, allowing myself to become part of everyone and everything else.  I would exhale my life, my imagination, my love, my essence.  Somehow, it seemed harder to imagine the latter than the former. . . not really sure why.  Still embracing the Absolute Oneness.  I hope I am getting closer to really getting it.  It feels like it at times and at times I wonder. . .
