Live Your Spirit and BREATHE

Breathe is essential to living and loving your Spirit.  In fact, you breath is your Spirit.  The breath you take gives you life.  To breathe deeply is to claim your Spirit and bring it into every cell.

One of the first things that occur when you disconnect from your Spirit is that you stop breathing deeply.  You tend to breathe shallowly instead and even occasionally hold your breath altogether.  When your body does not get adequate breath it goes more deeply into fear and anxiety, thus creating a vicious cycle of self-debilitating negativity.  So to love your Spirit, to live your Spirit, you must breathe.

There are several ways to breathe that instantly align you with your divine Spirit, and raise your vibration.

The first is to breathe in deeply through the nose, and then, open your mouth, relax the back of your throat, and release the sound “AH” as you exhale.  Do this several times right now and notice the change in your vibration.

As you do this, place your hand over your heart and feel the vibration on your heart as your breath releases.  This kind of breathing is not usual.  We all do it naturally.  It’s called a “sigh”.  When we sigh, we get out of our heads air false ego self and reconnect to Spirit.  It’s a natural reflex to keep us true to our higher self.

A doctor once told me a person cannot breathe deeply and worry at the same time.  It’s biologically impossible.  A deep breath interrupts and dissipates worry waves.  I cannot say for certain this is true, but I can say it is true for me.  When I breathe in through the nose, and slowly out through the mouth with an ”Ah…” I cannot worry about anything.  I can only feel relaxation, ease of tension and relief.  It feels great.

Try it yourself and see if you can worry and breathe at the same time.  Of course, you can worry between breaths if you’d like, but if you breathe consistently even that becomes more and more difficult to do.

Another breathing technique that calms the mind and raises your vibration instantly to the frequency of Spirit is called “AH HA Breath.”

This breathing technique is useful when your ego mind has gotten so knotted up in a mountain of worry and you can’t seem to struggle free or connect with your Spirit, no mat-ter what you do.  To engage this breathing stand with your legs slightly apart and slightly bent at the knees then take in the deepest breath you can and quickly thump your chest in the area of your heart with your fist and release a loud resounding “HA”!  As you do make certain you are free to be as loud as you can be when you do this thump on the   heart to get the best results and calls your Spirit instantly into your body.  The “ha” is the equivalent of a lifeguard’s whistle “shouting “everybody out of the pool now!”

It energetically breaks up and expels and sends running any negative frequencies that have gotten hold on you and restores you vibration to your authentic divine frequency and peaceful divine mind.

This breathing technique is a little startling to you and anyone around you.  That’s the point.  It startles the ego mind into release.

It acts as a reset button on your energy patterns.  After you take your breath, thump your chest and expel energy with a loud emphatic “HA” slow breathing in and then listen.

What you will be delighted to hear is silence.  At least in your head you will hear beauti-ful glorious silence, the peace and quiet of divine mind.  This exercise done two or three times a day clears your energy of all negativity and quiets the brain, much like lightning hit-ting the ground.

Another breathing suggestion is to, throughout the day, and especially when under stress step away from whatever you are doing and take a “breather”, literally a break to simply breathe in deeply for five minutes and realign your consciousness for your Spirit.

In my opinion, breathers are not unnecessary indulgences.  They are essential self- loving timeouts we all need throughout the day. The entire world would be a whole lot better off if everyone took a few more “breathers.

Here’s another great tool. I call it “share a breath”.  By this I mean breath in unison with another, falling, if possible, into a common breathing pattern for several minutes.

Because the breath is Spirit, it is physiologically impossible to share a breath with some-one, and at the same moment feel threatened, unsafe, or unworthy or disconnected in that person’s presence.

The breath is our common bond, the great divine equalizer.  It’s a secret tool of the best negotiations of the world.  When you share a breath with another or better yet a breath in unison with another for several minutes you automatically ease any obstacles, barriers, fears and judgments that exist between you given how much energy our ego minds draw from us with real or imagined conflicts. If you breathe in unison with someone the vibration between you begins to harmonize and resonate on a higher frequency.  This softens your heart and brings you to divine mind.  In divine mind there is no place for conflict, only in ego mind so you find your peace.

So, to love and live your Spirit remember:

*breath in deeply, in through the nose, out through the mouth and release a sigh saying “Ah!”

* Breathe in deeply, thump your heart, and let out an energetic “HA” from the belly up.

* Take breathers every five minutes throughout the day, every day until it becomes habit.

*When uncomfortable with another, or to elevate your experience of divine mind, share a breath with someone.

* Breath in unison with those you are conflicted with.

* And above all, just remember to breathe.  It feels good.
