Summary
Today's Quotes:
"There is a secret place. A radiant sanctuary. As real as your own kitchen. More real than that. Constructed of the purest elements. Overflowing with the ten thousand beautiful things. Worlds within worlds. Forests, rivers. Velvet coverlets thrown over featherbeds, fountains bubbling beneath a canopy of stars. Bountiful forests, universal libraries. A wine cellar offering an intoxication so sweet you will never be sober again. A clarity so complete you will never again forget. This magnificent refuge is inside you. Enter. Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway… Believe the incredible truth that the Beloved has chosen for his dwelling place the core of your own being because that is the single most beautiful place in all of creation.
...
This magnificent refuge is inside you. Enter. Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway. Step around the poisonous vipers that slither at your feet, attempting to throw you off your course. Be bold. Be humble. Put away the incense and forget the incantations they taught you. Ask no permission from the authorities. Slip away. Close your eyes and follow your breath to the still place that leads to the invisible path that leads you home."
-Mirabai Starr, St. Theresa of Avila- The Interior Castle
"Breath and mind arise from the same place and when one of them is controlled, the other is also controlled."- Ramana Maharshi
Today's Practices:
Breathe boldly, deeply into your abdomen. Watch the breath. Notice that when you're witnessing the breath, the mind is calm and when the mind is calm you are squarely on your Throne. Stay on your Throne of Loving Awareness knowing that everything you need is already, always within you.
Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

| 1:09.2 | Try that for a bit. |
| 1:10.9 | In the beginning, those deeper, diaphragmatic breaths seem uncomfortable. |
| 1:18.7 | They seem abnormal. |
| 1:19.7 | When I first started doing it, it kind of hurt, and my lower back felt like a workout. |
| 1:28.8 | So this is a natural way to breathe. |
| 1:30.7 | Third, it feels like on your inhale, your belly is blowing up like a balloon gently. |
| 1:39.0 | And on the exhale, your belly, like your belly button falls back toward your spine, not |
