Guided Meditation • Visualization • Mindfulness

Everything begins with the breath.

Shallow breathing is an indication of stress.  Shallow breathing makes the spine rigid, the belly hard, and the face stern.  Shallow breathing is a confirmation that life is difficult and puts you in a state of mind that is resistant to Life. Your mantra is “No.”

When you breathe deeply, the spine is fluid, the eyes are clear, and the voice is melodious.  The belly becomes soft and life becomes softer. When you breathe deeply, your attitude aligns with the attitude of the Universe; “yes” is your mantra.

A deep conscious breath can change everything.  Done repeatedly, it will lower your blood pressure, improve your memory, release you from the burden of your past, and transform an enemy into a friend.

Do this:  Take a deep conscious breath all the way down to your toes and sigh it out.  Let the shoulders drop away from the bottoms of your ears.  Relax your forehead and your jaw.  Repeat the process, except this time close the mouth and exhale through the nose. Repeat.

Part II of IV, “Do You Need the Ego?”

Do you need the ego?  Ego is a condition that arises from an unconscious separation from Source (Self).  Ego is fear.  You cannot find your true Self in the ego.

You are Whole.  You are Perfect. You are Loved. You are Complete.  You are the crowning glory of Spirit waiting to be realized.  You are all of this and so much more.

Within you lies the seed of vitality, energy, love, and freedom.  This seed is waiting for you to turn your gaze inward; waiting for you to believe that it’s actually there.

Have you investigated what you believe about yourself and the world? Or have you blindly believed what you’ve been told?  What you believe you come to know.

Believe in your Self.  Believe that you are whole, perfect, loved, and complete and you will come to know yourself as such.  Distract yourself from negative self talk by moving your attention into the breath and the feeling of your feet on the ground.  Do not allow your present circumstances, even if they are pleasant,  to define or limit you.

Go inward. Breathe. Ignore the ramblings of the ego, it cannot accompany you in the refuge of your Spirit.

Breathe. Connect with your inner truth…You are Whole. You are Perfect. You are Loved. You are Complete.

Peace!
