Bondage and ignorance and limitation! Oh my! We contract like a sneeze~ You want to know why? These are the roots of our issues, You see~ Unworthiness, insecurity, feeling un-free.
These deep darkened roots, known as Anava Mala, cloak our awareness like pollen all upon ‘ya.
This pollen of unworthiness Helps us forget~ How miraculous we are~ We recoil ~we regret.
We regret and we doubt. We feel separate and small. Our pimples and frizzes Keep us enthralled.
How, do we, how do we How DO we re-remember? Our goodness, our freedom From here to September?
Good question, my dear! So at your request~ I’ll teach you the tools To elevate your quest!
Your breath is the broom that sweeps away pollen, Shines light on the ignorance Which is hidden and smallen.
Sit tall, close your eyes, Tune into your spine. Inhale your breath Down the left side line
Sweep your breath out~ On the same side, From bottom to top~ Deep inside.
Sweep your breath in, Down the right side this time. Get real close and real low~ To release dust and grime.
Sweep your breath out~ From bottom to top. Keep sweeping your spine~ No reason to stop!
No reason to stop~ Till you feel lighter and free! Relieved of unworthy Pollen and debris.
The pollen of ignorance~ And debris of limitation~ Can be swept to the surface For expansive illumination.
Each time we remember, We grow and expand~ We become more real! And that is quite grand!.
