learning to breathe
Learning to breathe in Love I invite you now to take a moment to breathe, breathe with all your Being, with all your body, filling up your heart with joy, peace and, gratitude. Being able to breathe is something to be grateful for, breathing well makes us healthy. Breathing distributes oxygen in the cells and how wonderful it is to know that we even live on a planet with actual trees, transforming all the carbon dioxide in oxygen, what a wonder. This moment is a blessing, we can purposefully pause and really feel the breath deepen, we notice the path it takes and the response in our bodies, becoming delighted more and more. It's exactly because it is this simple that it can be also powerful. A powerful shift. Some tension seems to leave us, some rigidity melts and so our minds are clearer and clearer. How much were we holding on before? Shortening our breath, holding an invisible weight in our bodies. Perhaps it was anxiety, perhaps it was something else and now that the grip has loosened, we can look at it for what it truly is. Maybe it's just a part of ourselves that wants to be seen, and that was pushed aside among all the activities and distractions of daily life and as we witness this part of ourselves, we embrace it with love. Even if it is uncomfortable to be with it, we choose to respond differently, not by pushing it away because how intense it can be but by welcoming it back so we can be present with ourselves fully...Breathing in and out, experiencing Wholeness of our being. allowing this energy have its course, its pathway within us and then setting it free as it dissolves in this unconditional love present within - this unconditional love doesn't judge something just because it's difficult to go through but sees its value its truth and going past that intensity, we realize that in our inner landscape, it is raining it is sunny and a rainbow full of the entire spectrum of colors is shining above us. We feel the unconditional love that is holding us and we know in our hearts that we've always been held like this, even when we had forgotten even when we couldn't see it and maybe this is the greatest blessing of this now moment, the awareness of what IS... letting go of what we believed to be true due to external circumstances, only to see the truth reality underneath it all, the impermanent one. The one we never part ways with. Many desperate moments in our lives we have mistakenly thought of being alone simply because we weren't aware of Love's hands holding us, tending to us in ways we couldn't see and yet if we truly wonder and ask about it we will remember all the ways in which that happened and it was shown throughout our lives. Pause and breathe, let the remembrance come through, close your eyes to see. And even if nothing comes up, why not open from now on to this possibility? Everything is possible after all. Why not look for it with curiosity, like a child who looks at the world with a new gaze, from a neutral perspective, willing to ask and to see the truth. If you ask and look for the truth, you will see and find the truth. Breathe this knowing into yourself, know you have the possibility to choose each moment. Breathe in new life, knowing each breath is renewing energy within you, restoring peace and harmony like golden rays flowing in your system, increasing the radiance of your healthy beautiful self, feel yourself as a unique wonder of this universe, loved as you are, loving your existence and human experience. Each breath is a blessing, knowing this, becoming aware of this, over and over again, we transform ourselves and our lives in living walking miracles. Praise to the life within us all and within every particle of the universe. Praise to the infinite expressions of Divine Love, that we all are and represent. Praise to the Love which animates us and lives in us... Praise to Love, God.
