I’m a couple days late on this fine November trend, but I don’t mind. I’m grateful for this blog and my freedom to express myself when I wish.
I begin each day with intentional Wim Hof breathing techniques that take 15-20 minutes. I have a hyperactive mind that often distracts me from the meditative space created by this practice. One of my favorite solutions to the busy thoughts is to direct my attention to God and thank him for all of the wonderful and difficult aspects of my life.
This practice has become especially comforting as my place of worship has remained closed throughout the Lockdown. My prayer life has grown and lifted me through dark days. Today is distinctly special as I am rising out of a second wave of depressive pressure since March when the Lockdown began. I am thankful for His steadfast hand through my personal storms. The waters always calm, even if only for a few moments. The more often I return to that clear, cool lagoon of peace, the more I see that the storm will pass.
The sun is rising behind me, brightening the room as Enoch Light’s music reminds me of the fanciful pleasures of this world. God’s creation is truly a miracle full of beauty.
