Breathe

Stretch and breathe, stretch and breathe, that is how you should start your day for you need to awaken your body and revitalize after a time of sleep and rest. Your bodies need to be revitalized throughout the day and this can be accomplished simply by taking time to breathe deeply and continuously and then stretch. Yoga stretching can be used such as the cat stretch and the down dog or you can simply stretch one arm, then the other, then a leg and the other and then your spine by simply rolling forward and the slowly back up and backward. If you do these things you will find blood and energy begins to course through your veins and your energies will begin to increase. 

Oxygen is important to you all and most of you do not breathe. Not deeply and fully and not with purpose. You get through the day on instinctual breathing, but we want you to have purposeful breathing. If you breathe in life and you breathe it in consciously you will begin to become more aware of your surroundings and you will begin to become aware of your body and you will begin to become aware of LIFE. 

Most of you are not living; you are merely existing. You plod through life worrying about work, money, housing, friends, family, self worth and other things. Take a one hour period sometime in the near future and just notice the thoughts that you think. How many of them are empowering? How many of them make you and your soul feel loved and cared for? Encouraged? Uplifted? How many of them create joy or happiness or peace? Then notice how many of the thoughts and/or focuses create stress, worry, anger, envy, disgust or other life defeating emotions. We want you all to experience more life affirming emotions. We want you to find the joy in living and breathing. It is basic? YES, but it is ignored. Take it back to basics for just one hour. Analyze yourself and be conscious of how you are existing. Then try for 10 or 15 minutes, or longer if you can, to be in joy with no evidence that you “should.” You all love evidence. How can I be happy when there is war? How can I be happy when I am alone? How can I be happy when I have problems with my children, money, my spouse, my job, or whatever? We ask how can you not be happy that you are being given the chance to live and experience all of this! We all have pain, but it is our choice to choose the suffering to go with it. Life is a choice, so choose life and with that comes all the emotions and for that you should be joyful. 

We leave you in love and contemplation.

Namaste
