Today is World Blood Donor Day. If you can donate blood, you may save a life! Whether you donate blood today or not, it's a good day to connect to your own blood and the miracle that is your body.

Lie down where you won't be disturbed for twenty minutes. Follow your breath as you inhale and exhale, relaxing. Become aware of your heartbeat. Your heart circulates your blood, which is part of your life force. Descend deeper into your own awareness. Feel how the blood flows through your veins, bringing oxygen and nutrients to your entire body. Recognize how your blood supports your body, which then gives your spirit a tangible home. Enjoy the sensation. Slowly return to your more conscious self. Say out loud:

I am a Force of Nature.

Whenever you feel anxious, repeat those words and remember the feeling of your own blood's power.
