TAMING MY WILD HORSE MIND
BREATH BY BREATH WITH
BLISSFUL TRANQUILITY MEDITATION
“Your own wild horse mind
Can be either your powerful
Servant or your terrible master.”
—Kalu Rinpoche
In the midst of a busy world
And days of so much work
Which must be done,
I am learning to court
An inner stillness in my
Own heart’s secret sanctuary.
This wild horse mind, so used
To running crazy and free,
Must be caught with the lasso
Of breath mindfully focused
On watching each breath come
And each breath go in soothing
Rhythm, which brings sweet stillness
And a gentle peace to turbulent
Thought streams—and tranquil
Serenity to my wild horse mind.
Only then will calmness reign—
Only then can I take the reins and ride
This sleek, smooth and powerful
Wild horse anywhere I need to go—
Only then, can I make my way
Across the prairies and over the mountains
To a new life of being conscious and free,
In firm control and full awareness, released
From suffering and confusion by
Using my precious breath to catch
And tame my own wild horse mind.

THIS MORNINGS SONG…IS A BLISSFUL KIRTAN that is thousands of years old, yet remains so inspiring and vibrant.
This song is a sweet melodic invocation of the Divine Mother aspect of God in the form of AMBA….who in this painting is coming to help those who have called on Her in prayer…in a very well made You Tube video.
