Self-Control is the Foundation of Grace
Self-control
The ability to silence your mind
Will determine your appearance to others
Will determine what you project
If you are smiling but feel anger inside
You project anger
This will be felt by all around you
Whether you notice it or not
When you are meditating
When you are feeling very centered
Calm
Consciously aware of your breath
Your relaxed state
Is also a vibration
Your vibration is alive
It is projected always
What you focus on
Is where you direct your vibration
If you are focused on one thing
Your vibration is focused on one thing
Your vibration can be focused and sent everywhere
Your vibration can be focused and sent to one thing
When you are focused
You are consciously creating
When you are consciously creating
You are directing your mind
Whether you are neutral or not
You are attempting to be neutral
This is very different than unconsciously creating
When your mind is running the show
When you are not consciously breathing
What are you doing
Are you being aware of yourself
Are you being led by your mind
Yes you are reacting before you think for yourself
Because it is the mind that is reacting
The Soul does not react
The Soul lives in a neutral state
The Soul’s vibration is dampened
By the unconscious behaviors of the mind
If you choose to breathe consciously
You choose to create consciously
Look at any task that is completed exceptionally
No matter what the task is
The precision in thought
Is consciously creating
Consciously creating
Helps you to achieve the goal
The goal to be graceful
The goal to accomplish anything
Breathing consciously
Begin with breathing consciously
During meditation
During walking
If you practice conscious breathing
It will become the mind’s habit
If you initiate a habit that supports a neutral state
The mind will continue this practice
Your vibration will be
Everything you are doing consciously
Your vibration will be
Everything you are doing unconsciously
It is your daily deliberate practices
That help you to create your inner state
Your daily practice will support you
When you need to feel supported
Because they will be what automatically happens
At every breath during the day
What you deliberately choose to do
Becomes what you automatically do
This is the gift of Sadhana
This is the gift of a daily spiritual practice
