One Thing to Celebrate Every Day

Today’s Centering Thought is: Every day I accept the incredible gift of being here.
Today’s Mantra: Lila Hum (I am the playfulness of creation.)

Center yourself to begin a quiet solitude of mind and spirit with the thought “Every day I accept the incredible gift of being here.” Then begin to meditate by focusing on your breath and repeating the mantra: Lila Hum. Take deep breaths and with each breathe feel your mind body and spirit open just a little more to this affirmation. Each time your mind wanders come back by repeating this mantra and hold the meaning behind it – “I am the playfulness of creation.” Simply meditate for 20 minutes.
