An Offering

On Resting the Mind

Through this post I offer you a meditation to help release the anxiety of decision-making performance. A meditation to rest the mind.

My life is not a performance.
My life is an experience.

As I live this life, I am not being graded.
I am being guided.

My life is not a performance.
I am not only allowed to live, but invited to live this life
as an adventure.

Some paths I choose will teach me painful lessons.
But they are not wrong paths. They are not wrong choices.
They are experiences.
Some paths will teach me joyful lessons.
They are not right choices.
They are experiences.

Reaching out to learn by touching different experiences
sometimes I discover joy.
Sometimes I discover pain.
Sometimes I touch love.
Sometimes I touch a hot stove.
Both teach me.

Releasing performance,
releasing grading,
releasing right choice, wrong choice,
I open
I expand
into possibility.
Reaching out a tentacle into a vast ocean
to feel what is there.

May your body breathe.
May your mind relax into the body's breath.
May your mind rest.

---

May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you live with ease.

Namaste
