TAKE FIVE
by Russell Tobey Pope, RScP
Practitioner Emeritus
In 1959 the Dave Brubeck Quartet recorded “Take Five” which is a jazz classic
Later the lyrics were added They loosely started with this:
Take a little time out
Just take five
Stop your busy day
And take the time out
to just be alive
This inspired me to write the following meditation. So for today’s prayer/meditation please do the following
Love yourself just the way you are and just the way you aren’t NOW
Get comfortable. Close your eyes and repeat the following mantra for 5 minutes, give or take:
I Am peace. I Am harmony. I Am health I Am LOVE. I Am GOD I AM
