A Word Podcast by Rooted Blossoms

Today’s episode is a poem by Mark Nepo, entitled Breaking Surface.

As I read this piece, I encourage you to explore, give thought to

1) What external factors, intergenerational patterns or traumas have you handed, taken on and/or experienced?
2) How has it manifested into habits and belief systems?
3) Are these habits and belief systems allowing you to break surface, to grow, evolve and bloom?
4) What will it take in terms of actual steps to begin or continue breaking surface?

Meditation begins at 2:00

Episode 2 is a guided breathing practice. As you practice, I invite and encourage you to feel and connect with the flow of your breath in your body. Where does it flow with ease, where does it linger, how does it feel and what might by surfacing in terms of feeling and thought? I invite you to honor yourself, your voice, you body by allowing it to just be, no judgement, no censoring, no explanation, just be.

At the end of the practice, maybe note what occurred for later thought and contemplation.

Greetings! This is A Word podcast presented by Rooted Blossoms. This podcast is about encouraging souls through spoken word, guided meditations, prayers and enriching conversations.

Episode 1 is a reading of an original work by me, entitled Kindred Song.
