We are so much more than just our physical experience.  It is hard sometimes to grasp this because so much of our time and energy is spent in our bodies, in a physical world, thinking in our heads, and relating to things we can connect with our physical senses.  Yet each of us has had an experience of a time when we felt that we touched something outside of our physical experience.  Or at least we thought of it as being outside of ourselves.  But what if that unexplainable experience came from somewhere within ourselves?  An inner space that cannot be described in terms of physical matter.  We made a decision based on a hunch or a gut feeling.  We walked into an encounter and found ourselves acting and behaving in a way that was above and beyond what we thought we could do or be.  We were overwhelmed by a sense of peace and understanding of which no words can describe. Those are all elements of Spirit.  We often think of experiences of Spirit as being outside of us, but what if instead that knowing or sense of something more is within us?  This means that if we wanted to connect with it, all we might have to do is get quiet in the moment and take a breath.  We would not have to wait for something or someone outside of us to happen or to be something.  In my date time with God I have found that I can connect with All that is when I am quiet and still.  Then I am able to close the door on the chatter in my head about everything and it all begins with a breath.  It is actually in connecting with the most basic of my physical existence–the breath, that I open the portal through and access something more.  My prayer for us today is that through one of the breaths we take, we have the courage to see if even for just a second we can sense the Spirit within us.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
