Expand into that creative vision

(grasshopper molting macrophoto by Charlene Robinson)

Notice each stage of awakening invites letting go of versions of the old to embrace "the new." Every moment offers opportunities to release suffering and tune into deep Truth. Whatever we fear most is what we are meant to do. Growing confidence arises in natural radiance. Hope in possibilities can shift into trust and knowing all that is real. Going through the motions is worth it as we shift wholeheartedly into our authentic creative vision.

Moving Forward

Every moment, the choice exists as to how we perceive the energy within and around ourselves.  We do not perceive the world as it is, rather we perceive the external based on the state of our internal environment. As consciousness expands, we receive, decode, transmit energy differently.

Moving forward, each of us decides consciously or unconsciously how to function.  We decide whether to allow our perception of the external world to shape how we feel and function or, recognize that how we breathe, feel and vibrate shapes our sense and experience of everything.

Come what may, change is always within reach.  One area of life is interconnecetd to all others. Being present is about living with more clarity, confidence and harnessing unseen power.  Whatever prevents living more fully can be identified and transformed through conscious recognition. Everything can be related to the rhythm of the breath.  Attentive listening is key. 

Moving beyond boredom

There is a Zen teaching story about a student who comes to the Master and tells him, "I'm getting really bored with just feeling my breath coming in and going out all the time. Don't you have a meditation practice that is more exciting?"

The Zen Master replied, "Well, yes. You are now ready for a greater teaching. Follow me." And so, the Master led the student into a courtyard and approached a large barrel of water. "Gaze into the barrel," said the Master. As the student eagerly leaned over and peered in, the Zen Master suddenly pushed the student's head into the water. Being quite strong, the Master was able to hold the student under the water for quite a while, even though the student struggled desperately. 

Finally, the Master let the student come up for air, and as the student gasped the Master asked, "So... is that breath boring?"

We are often taught to crave drama and struggle, yet do we really need them? We are also taught to believe the breath is "nothing special." After all, it happens without us. However, as we pay closer attention to the breath, recall what it is to breathe consciously, we move beyond boredom, into what we deny or overlook. In fact, as we focus on the breath, we engage in what truly matters, and what we seek is 'in plain sight' or 'in plain breath'.

While breathing exercises are growing in popularity, the rhythm of the breath itself is a language that can be decoded. Insight we gain has potential to positively impact our lives.  What is it you desire most? To reclaim power? find new confidence? Be more accepting of who you are? 

It is as if the answer or solution we seek has hidden Itself in the most obvious place. What are we ready to see about the nature of our choices? Which stage of awareness are we willing to reach? 

Breathe into that potential

Self-love is a way of realizing our true potential. Yet, how do we know if we love ourselves fully? What does this look like? What is a practical way to explore what may prevent fully loving ourselves?

We each have the tools at our fingertips to see who we truly are and put our gifts into practice. What if we could uncover and release repressed trauma and let go of underlying causes of addiction that hold us back? What if breathwork is a tool to enhance our creativity, and sharpen our intuition and access mroe confidence?

Engaging in cathartic breathwork is a way to get to know and decode our emotions, and uncover hidden blockages.  Such blockages can be tracked back to unconscious beliefs which have come to run us. They are also affecting us on a mental, physical and other levels.  

When honest, underneath stress, people often discover a general discomfort with life.  Ask yourself if you are living fully, acting on your feelings and intuition or logic. What does being truly authentic mean to you?Do you hear; I’m not listening to  myself; I’m not as creative as I want to be?  People often come across breathwork after other therapies have not helped them. It is a way to empower ouselves.

Major differences exist between group breathwork and doing it one-on-one. Everyone experiences each differently.  In a group, you get that amazing collective energy and you can feed off other people. Some people also feel overwhelmed by group energy. Private sessions are another option. Anyone who feels uncomfortable or finds it hard to settle and to let loose in group settings, often benefit from a one-on-one session.

5 Reasons to Trust

Ten reasons to trust:

1. The more we trust (the universe), the more the universe gives us reason to trust

2. The more we trust ourselves, the more we build our confidence (and it shows!)

3.  The more we trust, the more we strengthen our intuition

4.  The more we trust our intuition, the sharper senses grow & more our perception shifts

5.  The more we trust in love (what we feel), the more consciously we manifest
