The Breath of Life

For sometime I have had the idea that I don't breath well. This idea includes the fact that my breathing is very shallow, I get sick very easily. This has been going on for several years now and the feeling of this was gnawing, and gnawing at me. Today I read an interesting article and it talks about the breathing of life. It talks about breathing the essence of life and I definitely agree with it. =)

My gut feeling always told me that if I breathed well my body would be telling me a different story and now I read that it is that way. If you breath in profoundly, deeply, you fill your body no only of the air you need to survive, but the spirit of life, the essence of life itself, your consciousness. It's not about the technique, or anything like that, it is just breathing life, energy, spirit, essence into your body. It even says that our bodies were made to live many more years, probably thousands ( wow! ), but that we have been cutting our life short by not breathing in life. We have been wanting to leave, go back from where we came, and so we started cutting life away from us, and we age, and we age quickly. This was brought upon by the erroneous belief that we are not good enough, that we are bad, and small, and evil. This is amazing...

My body renews itself constantly and I love the idea of breathing life into it. That is marvelous. I have to remind myself now that I should not cut energy nor life from my body. I want to live so many things, things that I have not lived because of my perfectionism and my lack of trust in myself. I have to trust that my body is equipped with all the intelligence it needs to live a healthy, perfect-weight-for-me-full-of-energy life and that all it takes is breathing in deeply, profoundly, down deep into my belly. Being aware of my breathing and making love to myself (not talking about sex mind you) will definitely bring my body back into balance.  And the best part is that it feels wonderful! It feels wonderful to breath in long, and deep into the belly, it feels good, it feels blissful, why? Because it is life.

For about a year one of the teachers at school has been telling me to go to get my body oxygenated in a special capsule. He told me that my legs would lose all the purple marks, they would clear up. When he started mentioning this to me the idea appealed to me, but down deep inside I knew that I could accomplish it by breathing correctly. Besides the treatment is expensive, so I did not go. I have known all along that the treatment is free, that my breathing has to stop being shallow. What a magnificent life mine is! What a wonderful life! All the answers I need come to me, and for that I am grateful!

How many times have we heard people say that if we are in a situation that is complicated, maybe a situation that we are uncomfortable, that we do not agree with that we should breath in deeply and count to 10? Well, guess what, it does work, it calms you down and that process just helps you breath in consciousness and it helps you see things differently. It calms you down. Once again, it is life, your essence, your spirit.

So from now on I am going to be aware of how I'm breathing, I'm going to take deep profound breaths into my belly. I'm not going to cut my life short anymore, but add to it. I am going to breath in life.

Keep the fork!
