I pronounce myself in my breath,
this one that seeks me and that encounters me.
I situate myself in my space and feel myself in it.
Somehow I settle myself
in what I consider to be my peace,
tranquility, quietude, serenity, calm.
I breathe consciously, with the impetus to love myself.
I breathe in all of that and perceive my awe
before my living breath,
my strength to live and my desire to be more.
I enjoy my breath, I identify with it so much,
I love it so much, because it makes me
this consciousness that I am.
I’ve asked myself so often:
With whom or what do I want to connect?
What exists? What is there?
Who is there?
And so often I find myself with this that I am.
I observe myself, I attend to myself,
I listen to myself, I speak to myself, I accept myself,
I reproach myself, I attack myself, I free myself,
I frighten myself, I comfort myself.
I breathe, I must breathe everything,
absolutely everything,
and I must learn more each day,
from all of this that I am,
from all of this that I think,
from all of this that I feel,
but more, from what I now know how to perceive:
my essence in light,
without so much resentment, without so much doubt.
I breathe more, I become patient,
which is the same as my love.
When was it that I began to disbelieve myself
to ignore myself, to not believe myself?
When was it?
Although today I know it doesn’t matter anymore,
because today I have obtained another determinant,
a new form of comprehending my Being.
There is nothing and no one
that negates what I am, least of all me.
That I that I believed identified something, was someone.
And what I know today is that I am only a unique Being,
attentive, kind, respectable, considerate,
and in whom I can trust, because it is now known,
one respects, one has decided
that one will never again cease to be.
I breathe with full consciousness,
I breathe being and knowing the life that I am,
the space that I am, the time that I am,
the force that I am, and the unique Being that I am.
And my breath says it and reinforces that,
the innate and healthy conviction
of being the Being.
I no longer have room for pain,
that fugue of consciousness that weakens my feelings.
I no longer have room for resentment,
that arrogant lie that diminishes my love.
I no longer have room for lies,
that malicious resource that conceals my Being.
I no longer have room for lovelessness,
that which impedes me from surrendering my Being.
I have resolved, I have dissolved, I have decided.
The breath is no longer,
I now know how and am able to contain myself and I know how to flow,
and I perceive the constant,
I perceive my essential force,
it no longer abandons me and it is so powerful,
it is so beautiful.
I know how and am able to sustain myself
in this breathless containment, without any fear.
It is for this that today I can say to myself with candor
and at the same time with all my strength:
The mystery does not detain me,
the ignorance does not detain me,
the abuse does not detain me,
the false power does not detain me,
the inconsistency does not detain me,
the confusion does not detain me.
I persist and continue in the profound strength,
of my awakened, understood, and beloved Being.
That is the Being that I am,
that is the Being, my beloved Being.
Om Namaha Shivaya
