May I be free from suffering. May I be at peace. Let the breath continue naturally, as mercy for yourself, your only child, for this being within. Though at first these may only feel like words echoing from the mind, gently continue. There can be no force here.
Force closes the heart.
Let the heart receive the mind in a new tenderness and mercy. May I be free from suffering. May I be at peace. Each breath deepening the nurturing warmth of relating to oneself with loving kindness and compassion. Each exhalation deepening in peace, expanding into the spaciousness of being, developing the deep patience that does not wait for things to be otherwise but relates with loving kindness to things as they are.
