DARE TO STRETCH DAILY
By Deborah York

                                              Stretch the body by exercise (yoga)
                                                        in order to stimulate energy and
                                                        circulation for healing and balance.
                                       
                                              Stretch the mind – by reading
                                                        in order to keep it open for new
                                                        growth, awareness and knowledge.
                                                                
                                              Stretch the spirit – by conscious breathing
                                                        in order to commune with your
                                                        Higher Self – to feel God’s presence.

                                              Stretch your love – by a smile or touch
                                                        in order to bring happiness and
                                                        joy to the hearts of all.

                                              Stretch your willpower – by fasting
                                                        in order to gain strength in
                                                        all phases of your being (five senses).

                                              Stretch your patience – by slowing your thoughts
                                                       and emotions – Letting Go
                                                        in order to create more harmony,
                                                        understanding and awareness.

                                              Stretch your concentration – by being still, meditating
                                                        in order to be in the here and now
                                                        100%
                    
                                               Stretch your listening – by quieting the tongue of speech
                                                         in order to hear God’s voice
                                                         from within Speak to You.

                                               Stretch your hand – by writing or giving of service
                                                         in order that your LOVE and
                                                         appreciation can be felt and
                                                         known to humanity.

                                                Dare to Stretch Daily –
                                                         in order to Love and
                                                         know thyself
                                                         so that you can become a
                                                         Complete Person – One with
                                                         God – Love!
