"Riding Conflict with the Breath * Bring yourself to a place of restful awareness. * Let every thought float by like a dream, mirage, or an old and cancelled sitcom. * Inhale all of the negativity and stress of the difficulty at hand--whatever the current source of conflict, anger, fear, and tribulation. * Breathe deep, inhale, and hoover it up like you're vacuuming dark clouds. Take it in and then let it dissolve in the inner luminosity of your infinite, radiant, empty nature of mind. * Exhale fully. Breathe out love, forgiveness, understanding, loving-kindness, empathic compassion, and life-giving healing energy. * Direct this positive breath specifically to perceived obstacle-creators and troublemakers. Poor humans . . . generating their own bad karma and sorrow, seeking happiness and fulfillment in all the wrong places! * Simply breathe in and out. Let the natural flow wash away and re-harmonize all obscurations on the windshield of your inner "iye." --
