July Book Club Meeting

The next book club meeting will be Sunday, July 16th at 10:30 AM to 12:00 or 12:30 PM.  We will discuss Mindfulness as Medicine Chapter 4 and 5, Trust and Faith, Reverence and Respect.

Nancy Koschmann has offered to host our next gathering.  Nancy's address is 705 Ringwood Rd, Ithaca NY.  If, for some reason, this does not work out, Pamela Goddard has offered her home as a backup.

I know that this will not work for everyone who is interested, and I'm sorry for this.

Rick and Diann have suggested that the next meeting after this be Saturday Aug. 5. This works for me. What do others think?

Returning Home

This is a guided meditation given by Judy Leaf at our June 28th Sangha gathering.  Thank you, Judy.

Returning Home

Breathing in, I am aware of my in-breath.
Breathing out, I am aware of my out-breath.

Breathing in, I take a deep breath and feel my diaphragm expand.
Breathing out, I relax my diaphragm, and feel the tension in my body release.

Breathing in, I feel the air come into my body and I smile.
Breathing out, I feel the air leave my body and I smile.

Breathing in, I come home to myself without worry or fear.
Breathing out, I feel comfortable in my safe home.

Breathing in, I collect my feelings and thoughts kindly.
Breathing out, I smile at my feelings and thoughts.

Breathing in, I know that I can always stop, breathe and go home to myself.
Breathing out, I feel grateful for this practice.
