Spirit breathing is a relaxing, restorative type of meditation in which your entire being becomes still enough that you are able to become totally connected. During this meditation, you release all tension in your physical body until it becomes progressively more and more quiet. Then you move on to your emotional body and you release all worries and concerns until it too becomes quiet. Finally, you tune in to your energetic body and allow it to become totally still. Once you have achieved this stillness, I call this meditation, your greeting with God.
Sages and monks knew that meditation allowed them to see the universe within. As they became quiet, they were shown that deep within us is a very simple piece of a whole, like a puzzle piece that when connected, is a part of the whole picture. When you realize this, it helps you understand that you are a part of everything and the actions you take have a ripple effect upon the entire universe. Your choices matter. Why is this so important to know?
Because when you choose love over anything else, you are living consciously within the universe and infusing it with love.
When you choose love over fear for yourself, you are affecting your own universe within. Your universe (connection to God) then becomes more and more en-light-end. Every choice of love infuses more and more “light” upon the entire whole.
When you do Spirit breathing, you are reintroducing yourself to the universe within and greeting God. We all have ties to the universe as we are energetic beings. When one person does something, sometimes many can feel it, and usually, even if it seems like a person is affecting change upon only themselves, usually, it is felt throughout the entire universe. It is important to be conscious of this. Sometimes we can think that the choices we are making are only for ourselves, but the reality is, it’s felt throughout.
An example of this is someone who chooses to abuse alcohol or any substance for that matter. They believe that they are doing this only to themselves. Usually, they make this choice because they are encountering some struggle and feeling an enormous amount of pain as a result. They believe that drinking alcohol will numb the pain they are feeling and that this will make them feel better, when in reality, all they are doing is disconnecting themselves from their spirit (and this disconnection is what is causing them pain!) They are making the choice to “relax” the connection to the God within.
The same thing happens for people who “lose” someone dear to them. A friend or family member dies, sheds their physical shell here, and then suddenly, we have “lost” them. The reason we feel this loss is because we are limiting ourselves to only working with the physical connection. We think we have lost connection because we can no longer see them with our physical eyes or feel them with physical touch. We have become so embedded with this belief that our only connection to others or anything is through the physical that when they leave the physical realm, we of course, miss them. Once we realize that everything is energy, and we are always connected, then the sorrow and grief subside and we expand our depth of awareness of the universe as a whole, and then and only then do we meet God.
God is usually accessed in our most challenging moments. You are the direct link to this source. We were each built with this unique system that allows us to always access God in any moment. Many people struggle with life’s challenges when they feel as if this connection is not linked up or turned on. They turn their prayers to God into demands about how they think things should be. They have forgotten one key component, a prayer is not a demand, it is simply a way to remember that we always, always, always have access to peace. You see, God and Heaven are peace. When you make the choice to pray, meditate, or become still, you are giving up the ego and you are instead taking a moment to remember who you are… an energetic being of the whole universe… There IS nothing to figure out or analyze or decipher. You are energy. This is the “holy grail,” the understanding that you never die. You are immortal because you are energy. When you come to realize this, you find the treasure of the holy grail!
As you pray, meditate or become still, explore the different way that you can connect. Many of us speak a prayer, but you can also feel a prayer. Connection is achieved in many ways and there is no right or wrong way, what’s important is that you know that your connection is always there, even when you think it’s turned off 😉 There is no turning on or turning off to the universe or God; you are always connected to it as an important piece of the entire puzzle. Think of it this way, even though it’s daylight out, aren’t the stars still in the sky? Just because the light shines a different way, we are able to see the stars at night. The same holds true for your connection to the universe and to everything and everyone. It is always there.
