Haiku my Heart #25 Heart Focused Haiku

For Haiku my Heart Posts


My yoga practice usually leaves me a little lighter, 
this week we focused on the 
heart chakra gratitude meditation,
I left my class with a feeling 
of belonging to something greater than self!


Often times when my mind is busy,
 all thoughts running riot,
I can feel overwhelmed, 
I find sitting and focusing 
on the breath soothing and comforting.


Namaste

Oh Ms. Foxy.... This is such a beautiful Hailu and story. We walked together today. I was full of anxiety earlier for a variety of reasons. As I walked from the crowded parking lot to the entry of the grocery store, I knew I could do something about it, so I said to myself, "Listen to yourself breathe." I did so, and calmed right down. So happy to see you feeling "high" on spirit. Peace to you my friend.

I breathed deeper after reading this. truly beautiful. thank you
Sue ,
This is lovely. Your images are so restful and I love the Shadow rabbit Mudra. I went to a Buddhist Psychology Retreat last week and we spent the whole day meditating and focusing on the breath. Mindful meditation. I was able to draw on it during the week in moments of stress. We also did a Loving Kindness meditation. I think that these meditations truly broaden the spiral don't they so that one feels such a oneness with others and with the universe.
Namaste Sue,

Hi Sue~ Your weaving of photo montage, haiku, and meditative poem leaves me calm and at peace: namaste, sister-on-this-earth.
The sunsets bring the rest of nightfall, the elongated hands bring grace, the peach-colored flower brings the beauty of nature. I was wondering if the cute handmade animal was a donkey? Stretching in a yogalike position? The mudra in the upper left is said to represent the connection between inner energy (intuition) and outer energy (inspiration).
I love to place a bolster under my chest and ocean breathe. I can feel my heart open up which is the most amazing feeling...
I loved your post; it was especially rich in feeling and depth as it coincided with Good Friday... Wishing you a blessed Easter, Love, Margaret

Exhale rippling waves...I'll try that in mynext meditation session. Should have a soothing effect.

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who  used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could  see the black dog had turned up too and  that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye,  "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely  demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough  and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day,  I am grateful for each day of my life...   I was at a funeral on Friday,  to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios
