reflections

Looking back through your day is a kind of spiritual practice. At the end of each day, going through the events in your minds eye, just being an observer, not a critic, not a judge. But what if our reflections for the day looked on the things that we did not do, things that we could not do, things we had to do and wanted to do. Forget what happened, the reflection just turns into a 'to do' list of a negative sort. Firstly the day begins with a 'to do' check list and ends with the same on a different note. It may not be hard to imagine. Sounds all to familiar? Just when our mind starts filling up with a thousand voices, jamming it up; let yourself stop. Freeze. Let go.
Life may become many things, even a to do list. But it's all captured in our breath. I may get lost in a maze of thoughts while reflecting on the day but its much simpler to just empty my mind and focus on my breath, connecting my body to my soul...
