I venture out for a sunrise walk. The birds chirp with enthusiasm. At times I imagine looking through their eyes as they dance through the air. I'm lifted from this limited body to find freedom in the skies. My attention then goes to my breathing. The cool air penetrates my lungs. Three steps I inhale, three steps I exhale. This walking meditation takes me within where I find less trouble. I hear and see the world around me, naked, free from my prejudice mind. How simple and beautiful.
As I turn the corner the horizon is glowing with silhouetted oak trees. The clouds above are pink and orange. I am fully awake and happy to be alive. The quiet and calm atmosphere has taken shape in my mind. I am the early bird who caught the worm of peace.
With each deep breath I harness energy to last the day. It is called prana or subtle energy. It is the secret elixir for beauty and health. If you learn to awaken your prana your eyes will shine with luster and your mind will remain steady and calm. Learn to breath with you entire lung capacity and your entire mind and it is easy to awaken your prana.
My walking becomes light as I stroll across green fields. The hillside at the end of the block is an open field. This park overlooks the peninsula stretching from SF. to San Jose. It's green and lush grass has collected moisture and shines in the golden sunlight. We discover beauty in the small things. Go ahead, take a look for yourself. Reaching the front steps of my home I am energized. I am ready for the day with a lasting energy of power and peace.
Shanti Shanti Shanti
Peace Peace Peace
