Gentle Mindfulness
by Rev. Kamatara Johnson, Director of Collaborative Ministries
I take this moment, in the stillness of the morning, and breathe deeply, feeling the life of me right here and now. I am centered in the One Loving Source, rooted in the Divine, filled with the Spirit even as I breathe in and out. I am in alignment with the I AM. There is no separation.
In this space, I affirm for myself a continued knowing throughout the day, to not go down the rabbit-hole of details and conditions and to-do lists and traffic and phone calls, and on and on…I stay in a place of gentle mindfulness all day as I happen to move through my day, whatever happens to be planned. I release the busy-bee mindset and relax into the flow, doing what is mine to do with ease and grace. I am filled with contentment. I am enough. This is enough.
And I am grateful. Grateful for it all, all the parts and pieces that come together to be me and my life. I know it is all the Divine expressing in my life and that I am blessed with such bounty. I appreciate being able to surrender into this beautiful state of peace and calm.
So I release this prayer of tranquility and flow into the Law, knowing that I already am in the flow–as the flow now. And so it is.
