Meditation for Depression

To practice this meditation, sit with your head level and your back straight. Breathe in with the breathing in lines and breathe out with the breathing out lines.

Breathing in, I am aware of my breath going in

Breathing out, I am aware of my breath going out

Breathing in, I am present in my body

Breathing out, I am present in time and space

Breathing in, I invite a new perspective on depression

Breathing out, I empty my mind

Breathing in, I give myself the gift of fresh air

Breathing out, I give back to the world

Breathing in, I recognize that I suffer from depression

Breathing out, I wish to change that condition

Breathing in, I know that I am human

Breathing out, I know that people get depressed

Breathing In, I feel the pain and sadness

Breathing out, I offer my sadness to the world

Breathing in, I feel the world’s sadness

Breathing out, I send the world peace

Breathing in, I am connected to all people

Breathing out, I wish people to be free of suffering

Breathing in, I am connected to myself

Breathing out, I wish to be free of suffering

Breathing in, I invite peace into my life

Breathing out, I share peace with the world

Breathing in, I see depression as a fog

Breathing out, I move the fog with my breath

Breathing in, depression affects my creativity

Breathing out, I can be creative with depression

Breathing in, depression affects my movement

Breathing out, I can exercise through depression

Breathing in, depression affects my mind

Breathing out, I can exercise my mind

Breathing in, depression makes me feel isolated

Breathing out, I accept the love of loved ones

Breathing in, I connect with my loved ones

Breathing out, I send them all my love

Breathing in, I face an ocean of strong emotions

Breathing out, I can float on that ocean

Breathing in, I am filled with humility

Breathing out, I am open to help and kindness

Breathing in, I am kind to my body

Breathing out, I practice great compassion

Breathing in, I am present in my body

Breathing out, I am present in time and space

Breathing in, I am aware of my breath going in

Breathing out, I am aware of my breath going out

WV Flood Relief Efforts

I am heartbroken by the images from back home. I am starting this post to compile ways people can help West Virginia right now, both locally and from afar.

If you’re in WV and live near a Tudor’s Biscuit World or a Gino’s Pizza, they are teaming up with Mountain Mission to collect the following donations at any Tudor’s or Gino’s location in WV: dried or canned food, water, cleaning supplies, pet food. You can also drop items off at the West Virginia Radio parking lot at 1111 Virginia St. East in Charleston, WV.

WV Health Right at 1520 Washington St. East in Charleston is also collecting non-perishables (they specify no clothing or blankets).

Sam’s Uptown Cafe is located at 28 Capitol St. in Charleston.

If you’re near Morgantown, WV, my alma mater is coordinating efforts as well. A list of high priority items and drop-off locations around WVU can be found here.

For those outside of WV, you can donate to Dollars for Disaster - WV Flood Relief (links in the article to United Way and American Red Cross).

Please keep in mind, so many of the people affected live in the poorest counties in the state (and even the nation). They need help.

Please share and add any resources you’re aware of.

Summer Solstice - 20th June 2016 🌞

Sunrise Solstice over Stonehenge

Today the Sun reaches its northernmost point in planet Earth’s sky. Called a solstice, the date traditionally marks a change of seasons – from spring to summer in Earth’s Northern Hemisphere and from fall to winter in Earth’s Southern Hemisphere. The featured image was taken during the week of the 2008 summer solstice at Stonehenge in United Kingdom, and captures a picturesque sunrise involving fog, trees, clouds, stones placed about 4,500 years ago, and a 4.5 billion year old large glowing orb. Even given the precession of the Earth’s rotational axis over the millennia, the Sun continues to rise over Stonehenge in an astronomically significant way.
