Be Here Now! When you notice your thoughts wandering astray, say to yourself "Be here now" and gently bring your mind at the point where you want it. The Fire in the Belly Breathe in deeply and relax completely. Allow your body to be centered and supported by the earth upon which it resides. As you breathe in and breathe out, open yourself to deeply connect your own being with the ever-present abundance of being ness that is everywhere at all times. As you breathe in and breathe out, let go of distractions of the superficial mind.
As you contemplate this question, you may begin to begin to feel a certain focusing energy that you can breathe into the solar plexus. Feeling this focus, allow yourself to become into contact with the energy of fire. Begin to burn away the nonessentials. Begin to burn whatever you are carrying that is not necessary for your growth at this time. Allow yourself to visualize unnecessary materials, places, and activities literally burning away, giving you more time and freedom to focus on what is truly important to you.
Feel the power at the root of your being, the power of abundance, the earth-based power that becomes the vessel that can support the great waters of feeling and form. As you breathe, feel your passion and your convictions. Feel what it is that you really care about, the things you want to do before you die.
