Regenerative Breathwork Meditation
The Wisdom of the Breath
It’s fascinating how the deeper we go into self inquiry and self reflection the more we realize that all the answers, all the solutions are right here, right now. I know it might sound quite funny to say that but I really came to this epiphany (which in fact I already experienced several times before but it’s almost as if my mind wanted to go back to it’s ways of analyzing and complicating things) while I was listening to the audio book of Michael Talbot’s Holographic Universe which is now officially in my top 5 favorite books of all time. Everything in this book is said plain and clear. Indeed we are the co-creators of our reality. Who, or what are we co-creating with though? With the divine power of the infinite universe which actually is us. So we are basically co-creating with our God-Self, the mighty presence we are, the mighty consciousness we are throughout, the We beyond phenomena, the observer and beyond it. Very much like fractal mathematics, as you zoom into a fractal you find a whole infinite universe reflected within it. So basically the universe reflects our micro cosmos and we are all fractals of one another, we are One. What we witness in our lives is that which orbits closely to our awareness. So that which you feed your energy with eventually grows. That last one can be a tough one for many because we often think : but wait a minute, does that mean becoming oblivious to all the pain and hardship of this world if I only wish to create joy and abundance in my life? I’ll repeat it again : you grow that which you feed your energy to. You literally birth it into existence. Even if it’s just a thought form.
So the other day I was watching on Youtube sessions of “The Work” by Byron Katie which are basically self inquiry sessions structured throughout 4 questions. You make a statement, such as a limiting belief you’d like to work on or a thought you’ve been processing such as for example : Every single person I’m attracted to isn’t attracted to me. This is a pretty general one, yet it’s one many of us experience. I at least have experienced that a lot in the past so let’s just dive right in. The four questions are 1. Is it true? Usually we’ll say, well obviously it’s true since it’s my statement and validated by my direct experience of it. As the Holographic Universe states : vibration precedes experience, meaning feeling, thought form precedes the physical manifest of it. Some of us are used to wait for the physical experience to manifest before changing our minds about something, and that’s basically taking it the other round. Then the second one is 2. Can I absolutely know it’s true? Bringing the statement into the realm of the absolute is greatly interesting as it makes us question the foundations of our statement. Then question 3. Who would I be without this thought? In this case without the story I used to tell myself that every single person I’m attracted to isn’t attracted to me, I’d feel deep relief. Question 3 has a deeper process of contemplation than the other ones as you observe it by wondering where in your body you hold that story, when was the first time you began telling yourself that story etc. Then the last question is 4. How can you turn it around? In this case you’d have to find several opposites to your statement. For example : Every single person I’m attracted to is attracted to me / I’m attracted to every single person / I’m not attractive / I am attractive. This is just an example of the work but basically you sit with these opposites and see how each of them makes you feel. The whole goal is to stretch your mind and to integrate other perspectives into your thinking process, recognizing how the stories we tell ourselves are our own projections and as soon as we begin to identify ourselves with one of them, we begin experiencing life from that vantage point.
In her work Byron Katie also says that Loving What Is is eventually the key to liberation because with the process of accepting what is now we recognize the perfection of each moment being a direct biofeedback, reflection of our inner storyline. The universe is so wise, it’s always been and will always be. Anchoring in our deepest faith is trusting that the now moment is what we vibrate and what we are a perfect match to. It can be difficult sometimes especially during hardship to recognize that, yet it’s also a wise way to notice when we punish or reward ourselves for certain thoughts and allows us to transcend this duality. In the Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot he explains how miracle workers and healers are so deeply anchored in their divinity, they are so aware of their oneness with all is that they become masters of reality, they transcend Samsara, they are in this world and yet they are everywhere at the same time.
The reason why I share all this is because in my own practices, some of the things that really helped me let go of a lot was centering my awareness on my breath. It is said that one can’t focus on the breath and overthink at the same time, focusing on the breath quiets the mind immediately. Through breath work we a-tune and atone our awareness to the profound miracle of this Now, we come back into centeredness, we release the Ego’s grip on the willingness to control or dictate, we ease and soothe into the flow of simply being, just like the breath : receiving and giving back, gently and deliciously. I hope you will enjoy this guided breath work meditation, it’s a quick one ideal for mornings or evenings. I will be sharing much more in depth ones soon.
