God's Restorative Power
by JLR

Hello, JLR,

Meditation and breathing exercises help with stress. Good alliteration.

Great entry for the Fabulous Free Verse's Club Challenge: Sparkle.

Dear JLR, I wanted to ask if you have taken up meditation to cope with all of this Covid sequester?Because your whole poem sounds exactly like a guided meditation. And you could put the word 'sparkle' on the end because you wrote it.
Be sure you keep this one in a special place, and I, can at least, bookcase it.

    My friend, I do a series of meditative and centering prayers practices wherein I seek the stillness and restorative power of separation from the finiteness of our busy minds and 'ofttimes daily grind.

Wow! What a super free verse for the challenge! Loved it!
Yes, we can breathe in as part of prayer and it will energize us for all that the Lord wants us to do.

One typo:
breath in and catch the top (breathe)

This program gives a good encouraging message. "Inhale and exhale" is a relief technique when one is in anger or depressed. Definitely it is worth trying it.

I like the poem and it is good job.

Your clear instructions should enable one toward a sparkling meditation.
Monitoring our mind is within our capabilities. The picture of letting go and emptying our thoughts to let in the sparkles is very attractive. Nicely narrated.

    Yes, it set our intentions to go to the source to restore, renew and then go out and go service is a worthy daily intention.

Meditation and mindfulness! Such simple renewing activities. Love it!

I think there may be a typo with the word "breath." Did you mean to say "breathe? "

I adore the visual imagery of having an internal sparkle. Sparkly hugs to you.

    Sanku, we do not often take the necessary time to create Space...I find doing so helps mellow this soul.
