The other day, my husband and I were driving in a snowstorm. A memory came flooding back to me—a beautiful lesson I learned years ago and totally forgot the joy that it brought my heart.
This day I remembered was also a snowy day mixed with ice. At the time, we did not have someone to plow. With my trusty shovel, I began to remove the snow. Under the snow was a thick layer of ice. I was inspired to make this ordeal a prayer. As I was breaking the ice, I set the intention to also break up patterns and negative thoughts within me.
I did this for a couple of hours. My body was physically tired when I was done, but my soul was soaring.
Recently, I wrote an article about breathing. That exercise does the same thing for me. When I first started, I would put my hand on my heart and picture myself breathing into my heart from the Sacred Heart. That brought me great peace.
After a while, I started to feel the Sacred Heart within me. This Heart is but one thing, Love, which we are all connected to, which is within each of us and is in communion with the Divine.
The practice eventually evolved into something wonderful. Now, when I take the time to connect and let the love in me and then through me, I feel an instant connection with Love.
I am trying to remember to breathe like this even while I am driving. My desire is to breathe like this all the time, staying always connected with the Divine. That truly becomes a prayer that never ceases. It balances me and helps me walk away from lower vibrations such as anger, resentment, etc.
The only problem is to remember that, at all times, we are connected to God, Divine, the Universe. We must set our intention to remember who we are. There are so many things that distract us. The only way not to get caught up in the distractions is to stay present. I am easily distracted, so sometimes I set alarms on my phone to remind myself to breathe from my heart.
By allowing this breath, I am continuing to break the ice around my heart and allow my higher self to be front and center, where it belongs.
I thank you for spending this short period of time with me.
