SANCTUARY IN THE HEART OF THIS VERY PRESENT MOMENT When it seems as if I have lost my way In the demands of Living day by day, I remind myself that There is always sanctuary In the heart of this Very present moment— When my own mind wants To do nothing but complain And criticize in a flood of Negative thoughts devoid of Love— When I am about to be overwhelmed By stormy skies and painful losses, I remind myself that everything in life Is temporary and moving towards it’s end— And that this too shall pass— And I find, over and over again, that Attaining profound peace of mind and Heart is just a shift in attitude away— When I choose to come within and Ride my breath into serenity and freedom Behind these closed eyes tinged with tears And this body brought back to perfect stillness.

A HEART OPENING ANCIENT KIRTAN FOR YOU!
Here is a link to a beautiful kirtan by Kevin James….He sings the powerful verses of this prayer from ancient India in Sanskrit, then its English translation…
“Om Asatoma Sad Gamaya
Tamasoma Jyotir Gamaya
Mritorma Amritam Gamaya
Om Shantih Shantih Shantih”
“O Lord, lead me from the unreal to the real’
Lead me from darkness to the Light
From the earth to the open skies
Lead me from death to eternal life”
