Breathing and Relationship

April 15, 2016

The Un-Doing of Breathing

We often feel that breathing is simply automatic with the ability to consciously “control it” for periods of time.  Like other processes in our body we take for granted and most often just forget about them.

Until we recognize that our body innately knows that we are one with the Universe. In that oneness there are still points….a pause for us to remember that what we thought was our individual process of breathing is caught up in the stars shining, the waves moving to shore, the tree gifting us with oxygen, and the sun shining upon our face.

Michael Grab, in the video above, finds those still points as he deeply connects with the living forces of the stone elements he holds in his hands and blesses with water.  May you be reminded that in every moment you are simply and elegantly an integral and sacred part of this Universe….

Coaching and Editing for Transformative and Visionary Writers

I help you reveal new possibilities in your creative work

Language is fundamental to who we are as biological beings and is the primary vehicle for taking effective action in our lives. It inherently carries within it our identity in the world and the potential for connection and collaboration.

As an advanced practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu I am able to see and work with the connection between the body’s energy system and that of language. Conversations actually live in our bodies. Words hold energy that stimulate our biology in various ways.

Transformative writing opens spaces, triggers possibility and stimulates your reader to take effective action. This is Language as Energy Medicine

Soul Musings/Day 30: Breathing With Whales

humpback-whale-dolphin-2240x1488

I carry a prejudice that there are a myriad of other precious things in life to pay attention to than social media. Yet the connections that lead to deeper ones, or the last video posted that has you breathing with humpback whales, leaves you changed inside forever.

We live in a seemingly complex world filled with distractions, obligations and concerns. Hardly a moment to take a simple full inhale and exhale to relish the feeling of letting go.

The beauty of our interconnected world is that we can have experiences and meet people that although not in our physical domain, connect us to our soul of being. It is here that we realize there are no barriers on this small planet of ours.

In fact we are but stardust manifested in a biological form that continues to shift consciousness with the realization that every single life form is breathing with and for us. Take a few moments now to click the link below and join the pure magic of simply breathing with a pod of humpback whales.

Soul Musings/Day 23: Sharing the Breath

10565193_10154519615225650_7969823700640311101_n

“What a marvelous cooperative arrangement – plants and animals each inhaling each other’s exhalations, a kind of planet-wide mutual mouth-to-stoma resuscitation, the entire elegant cycle powered by a star 150 million kilometers away.”–Carl Sagan, “Cosmos”

The act of “inspiration” supports our embodied aliveness. The word carrying with it many meanings, layers and nuances.

In the simple act of drawing air into the lungs there exists a reflective relationship with the spirit of air. A partnership which is shared with all that are living.

Diving deeper into distinction inspiration is also an act of receiving and communicating sacred revelation.

When we consider the air that we breathe a quantum connector and shaman of inspiration why wouldn’t we want to breathe fully.

Filling our lungs with the exhalations of Life breathing.

Living life as sacred with every breath.

Soul Musings/Day 22: Trees Are My Temples

1920300_903762082997615_9045089231169045735_n

Without trees the human experience would be bereft

For what would we breathe if not the exhale of the giant sequoia

The relentless sun would beat down upon us

Without a sanctuary of shade to rest in

There would be no sweet fruit to pick

To entice our taste buds to life

And the awakened would not have their confidant

To share the secrets of the One….

Soul Musings/Day 19: The Breathing Space of Stability

Franchise-Stability

Much to our dismay we recognize in our aware moments that there is no stability in life.

The “certainty” that we would like to hang on to simply does not exist.

Even our breathing is supported by many factors such as changes in our activities/or lack of, our overall health at any given moment, the aging process and stimulus from many domains.

Pinning anything down is virtually impossible in this constantly creating, energetically evolving Universe.

 We can institute some stability by taking effective action in our lives like supporting an unstable knee with strengthening exercises, the correct shoes,and body movement awareness which supports stability – however like the stones above one small shift will cause them to come cascading down into yet another formation.

The key is that there is constant shift as we live life as it really is from our biology, and when that shift occurs it is simply evolution into another expression that is being called for versus bad/good or right/wrong.

A dance for certain and one which leaves us as the curious, resilient, and at times startled and confused Choreographer.

With Source as Director.

Soul Musings/Day 14: Heart Openers

th

What better practice this time of year than to do heart opening.

Whether in a yoga class, in meditation, smiling at a stranger or gazing in someones eyes.

There is yet another practice that holds the possibility to go deep within your own heart and connect to those in your life that have been, or are, challenging relationships….a practice that emerged for me during yoga class today.

The greatest gift you can give anyone is that of acknowledgement for the absolute love they are and have always been for you…even in the midst of difficulty and estrangement.

In your imagination see that you are meeting each one of these people one after another and as you walk up to them and look into their eyes say the acknowledgement with open heart, embracing them and breathing together, then pulling back and with hands at your heart bowing.

That person will be replaced by the next person, and the next, and the next, until you have a circle of those that have passed through your life and left you changed forever….who you are today.

They have all played their part in your unfolding life and you in theirs.

Perhaps it is time as we near the end of the year to open the space for heart and body opening release and lovingly let them go…… or invite them back in breathing peace.
