Who and what comes first in your Life? You are connected to the whole, to the all, and as a part of that connection it does wonders when each of us develops exquisite self-care. Wherever you go, you are there. Dare to look at making yourself Number 1 in your own Life.

Sacred Selfishness.

b. time: 2 to 7 minutes

Take time to gaze at your eyes, your own eyes.  Meditate for a time on the eyes of that unique person in front of you.

Tarot – Fool
Element – Spirit

O Innocence, with laughing eyes!

Thou art a cherub from the skies,

A wanderer from heaven.

Harvey Rice, “Innocence”

For some this is new years day. For some it is simply another day. Can I approach this day with the innocence of a child? Like a fawn waking up to the dew lit forest? Budha says, “Each morning we are reborn again. What we do today is what matters most.”

Remember, today is the first day of the rest of your life. And it is the only day that is Now.

Exercise Invitation – The Breath

• Put some meditative music on or keep silence.
• Lie down on your back.
• Focus on breathing – air is life, Prana. How deeply can you breathe? Make your breathing as slow and deep as you can, as you want.
• Breathe like this for 5 to 15 minutes.
• After… notice how you feel. Where did you go?
