Rest Here (Poetry)

To slow it all down you have to focus on the moment.

Yeah, I know it’s hard to not think backwards or forwards, especially at the speed at which we are taught to live our lives.
But you don’t have to live at that speed all the time. You’ve heard of ‘being in the now’ or ‘being present’, sometimes you have to train yourself to actually go there.

Here’s something that may help:

Rest Here.

Relax into who you really are.

You are magnificence itself.

Let go of resistance to everything,

And what remains is the perfect flow

Of effortless Life.

What you are unwilling to feel

Remains as tension,

Becomes gnawing,
 grows into addiction.

Restore the capacity to feel fully,

To allow the experience without flinching,

And the addiction, the gnawing, the tension,

Dissolve.

Rest here and things are simple.

~ Arjuna (Bhagavad Gita) 

Go now, relax into who you are.

Love,

Dawn
