Avoiding the second arrow
Animals in the forest know how to do this. Every time they get seriously wounded, they find a quiet place to lie down and do nothing. They know that this is the only way to heal...
...
We humans have lost this kind of wisdom. We don't know how to rest anymore.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh (2010). Together We Are One.

Breathing in,
I'm aware of my body.
Breathing out,
I smile to my body.
Breathing in,
I'm aware of my body.
Breathing out,
I allow my body to release the tension.

Breathing in,
I know I'm alive.
Breathing out,
I smile to life,
In me and around me.

I have arrived,
I am home.
In the here,
In the now.
I am solid,
I am free.
In the ultimate I dwell.

...compassionately and deeply acknowledges our sorrows and pushes us to release those identities that limit us and rewrite the "stories" we cling too tightly to.
