Close your eyes

And open your mind.

Let your body sink into 

The chair or bed,

So you can unwind.

PAUSE

As your body relaxes,

Catch any thoughts 

You need to stash away.

Prepare to receive

On this beautiful day.

PAUSE

Life is full of fear

That causes anxiety and stress.

It can put you in a position

Of living in duress.

PAUSE

So, take a minute and breath,

And touch upon your fear.

Is it holding you back,

Try to observe it

And get clear.

PAUSE

Now, give your fear a voice,

Let it rumble and rant.

Then acknowledge it

And thank it,

And repeat that like a chant.

PAUSE

Keep yourself steady,

Let the fear burst into flames.

Watch it from a distance–

Take a step back from the pain.

PAUSE 

And through fear’s ashes,

See yourself rise.

Breathe. Embrace it.

Let yourself fly.

PAUSE

And while floating above the fear,

Listen gently to these words.

They’re probably something

You haven’t heard.

In The Way of the Peaceful Warrior 

These potent words are said:

“Courage is not the absence of fear

But the conquering of it.”

Take a moment, 

And breathe in this quote.

Take a moment

To really connect with

What Millman wrote.

PAUSE

For fear is state 

That exists in our mind.

It can be realistic,

But it can also make us blind.

PAUSE

And you are like the phoenix,

So spread your wings.

You’ll face fear again,

So prepare for conquering.

PAUSE

Now, hold that image

Of the fiery bird,

And remember, 

You got what it takes

To fly high in this world.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
