What is the first thing that comes to mind when
you think of Gentleness?

Between a rock and a hard place lay Gentleness.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that Gentleness
is within us, somewhere between the black and the
white, the left and the right, the day and the
night.

Gentleness fits into small spaces and is welcome
anywhere. It weaves itself around the lint in
your pockets, and the curve of your lips. It has
no religious affiliation, agenda, gender or
judgment. It simply IS.

In-between moments of confusion and righteous
certainty, Gentleness reveals itself in the
essence of Acceptance, Tolerance, and Patience.
Gentleness is our patient nature, letting others
work through their dramas and solve what needs to
be solved or dis-solved.

Gentleness is the way the air parts to make way
for my body as I walk along the river, accepting
me upon this Earth unconditionally. It is the way
my biology accepts the air I breathe, the waters
I drink, and the foods I partake of.

There is no time limit, boundary, or deadline with
Gentleness. Gentleness simply IS. At any moment
you can drink deeply of the essence of Gentleness,
for it is an unlimited supply and ever present.

Take several deep and even breaths, focusing on
breathing in the essence of Gentleness. Let it
coat your senses, your skin, the tiny hairs on
your face.

Breathe in Gentleness, feeling it trickle within
you like a tiny mountain brook. It flows into
your arms, your torso, your legs, and out your
feet into the Beloved Mother Earth.

Breathe in Gentleness, letting it swirl deeply
throughout your Heart. BECOME a Gentle Presence.

This is YOUR Gentle nature. YOUR Divine Right.
Gentleness is a common denominator of Oneness.
Feel the energy of Gentleness flowing through your
hands. With your breath and your intent, direct
this energy anywhere upon or within your body
that needs it. Simply place your hands there, and
breathe Gentleness.

Now focus on the area around your Heart, and the
Gentle essence within. Breathe this Gentleness
outward and around you. Open your lips on the out
breath, and imagine a huge bubble of Gentleness is
forming around you.

Let this energy of Gentleness enlarge with your
intent. Take your time, there is no hurry. With
each breath, the feeling tone increases as your
Gentle Presence grows bigger.

Hold your hands open, and imagine you are holding
a huge ball of Gentleness. Wrap your arms around
yourself, and enjoy this sensation. Stay with the
energy until you feel every molecule and particle
of yourself coated with Gentleness. All you have
to do is breathe.

Focusing on the breath, breathe outward another
bubble of Gentle Presence. If you were to give
it to someone, who comes to mind? Imagine placing
it carefully in their open hands, and imagine
them willingly receiving it. Do not worry about
how they will receive it. Simply give it to them,
and then return your attention back to your own
open hands.

Breathe outward another bubble of Gentle Presence.
Surely there is someone else you can give this
energy to? Your child, spouse, mate, roommate,
coworker? Your pets? The neighbor's barking
dog? The clerk at the convenience store? The
librarian? The person that cut you off on the
highway? Imagine giving each one a bubble of
Gentle Presence. Each one will receive this energy
of Gentleness. On some level they will be aware
of it, and it will affect them. But do not worry
about the outcome, or what will happen. Each
person has free will. Give your gift and then let
go.

Look about your home. Is there any area that
could benefit from the energy of Gentleness?
Imagine placing bubbles of Gentleness all about
your home. Your pets, plants, and crystals will
attune to this Gentle Presence and amplify their
own gentle natures.

Gentleness is an immovable and impenetrable force
of Isness. It coats, soothes, protects, and
aligns itself with the Gentle Presence within.
Gentleness is usually the first gift we are given
when born into this Earth life. As we lay
cradled in our cribs, blankets of Gentleness were
wrapped around our innocent natures.

Gentleness is an essence we have always had, even
if others were unkind. That is why it is so easy
to work with and manifest. We KNOW it.

Gentleness does not stop at the end of this
meditation. Next time you go to work or are
about in your community, take the time to breathe
outward the energy of Gentleness as you interact
with others. Dare to BE a Gentle Presence and
gift it to everyone you meet.

Perhaps you have bills to pay, letters to send,
and other correspondence. Place a bubble of
Gentleness around each letter before you send it.
Just think how many people will be innocently
touched by Gentleness as it travels to its
destination! Again, Gentleness has no limits, no
boundaries, and no agenda. Gentleness simply IS.

One letter will affect the postal carrier, waft
about their vehicle and touch the neighborhoods
they drive in. Its energy will permeate the Post
Office. Then, if it needs to travel further, it
will fill the plane it flies in or train or
another vehicle en route to its destination. It
will touch and heal others at another Post
Office, and finally, at its destination, waft
about the business or home it resides in. Can
you begin to understand now how easily we affect
each other?

As you prepare your meals, or when you eat out in
a restaurant, allow a bubble of Gentleness to
touch and bless the food and drink before you take
them into your body. You can easily do this
without drawing attention to yourself from those
who may think you a tad odd. All you have to do
is breathe!

You can simply look at something, and with your
breath and open lips, breathe your intent of
Gentleness upon it. A car accident, a quarrel, a
children's squabble. Breathe Gentleness upon
them all in your passing, and then let it go.

Between a rock and a hard place lay Gentleness.
Dare to BE a Gentle Presence. Welcome home, and
