Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Take the time you need to become comfortable. Allow your mind and body to relax. 

The present moment holds the keys that unlock your freedom from anxiety, from suffering, from anything that works against you. You can only feel free, peaceful, content, safe and happy in this now moment. This is all that exist. The things you dream of, and the things you fear are nothing but a thought and a feeling combined in your imagination. There is no future in which we experience today. When we do experience the dream we want, it will not be in the future. It's in the now. You have a choice of how you show up in the now, how you live, how you create happiness and joy.

You can bring your awareness to the present moment by simply paying attention to your physical body, your breath, and the sensations happening within and around you. Rather than allowing your mind to judge the experience and conjure up things that are future based, bringing yourself into the present awareness. Increase this experience and connection within your mind, heart and spirit. In doing so, you can center around a thought and the experience of grounded gratitude.

The world inside of you, your perspective and your heart, is seeking peace. But in order to have peace, you must find peace and to truly enjoy your life. Once you learn to master this, you begin to settle. In the now. Without suffering. And without having to validate yourself by other standards. But instead you begin to recognize your own words. The trick is to learn to use your mind purposefully and peacefully.

This is a space where your mind is calm. Allow these words to carry you away with the practice of the red balloon.
