Mindful Poetry Day 9

Forget about enlightenment

Sit down wherever you are
And listen to the wind singing in your veins.
Feel the love, the longing, the fear in your bones.
Open your heart to who you are, right now,
Not who you would like to be,
Not the saint you are striving to become,
But the being right here before you, inside you, around you.
All of you is holy.
You are already more and less
Than whatever you can know.
Breathe out,
Touch in,
Let go.

By: John Welwood

For the next 20 Days I invite you to connect with Mindfulness through poetry. Leave a comment if you’ve enjoyed the poem or post your favorite poem.

Here is a step by step guide on how to engage with this practice:

  1. Each day I will post a careful selected poem
  2. Find a quiet place, sit comfortable and read the poem aloud to yourself, preferable more than once. An audio recording will also be available in case you prefer to listen to the poem
  3. Take the poem into your heart and your body. Become intimate with it and allow it to guide you into intimacy with yourself
  4. Allow a spaciousness of interpretation, openness of the senses and a deep experience of understanding, distinct from cognitive comprehension.
  5. Spend some time with the poem, as a way of choosing to be present and mindful.
  6. Bring the poem into your family and community. Share your experience with your loved ones, including Mindful Brain Community.
