No Going Back 3/23/2021

Lighten up
Shake it off
Close your eyes
Just breathe….

Simple things done
To diffuse a reaction
When fear and panic
Steps into life.

Sit with the emotion
Tune into its vibe
Being mindful
Of its presence
Allows you
To understand why.

Emotions are essential
For they reveal
Our state of balance
Walking hand in hand
With us in life.

“No going back”
To a state of chaos
Where the monkey mind
Causes stress and havoc.

Be in the flow
Giving and taking
What is needed
For balance and harmony
To treat us well.
