Beginning with a new practice, Solidifying the Breath, we learn how to concentrate the breath deep in the body with a hand gesture and smooth breath. This practice allows the breath to solidify as energy deep within the body, creating open space for more breath while clearing the mind. After our regular practice, we venture into the divine world, recognizing all creation is based upon divine patterns. We rest our consciousness upon the tree, relaxing into the stillness and stability that is the tree. We find ourselves breathing with the tree, into all our pores. We also breathe into the bottoms of our feet, creating heat and grounding with the breath into the feet. We finish by sharing our divine light with our family, community and relationships.

A relaxing and soft practice of breath awareness leads to awareness of the Divine Self. A sweet and simple breath activity starts and permeates this episode. We simply breathe, with recognition of our physical being, starting with softening and relaxing. Notice the hands, the back of the neck, the crown of the head. We move to softening the emotional body with our breath, noticing any emotions that arise with ease and acceptance. Moving to the mental body, seeing thoughts as clouds floating away in the blue sky. Simply being, breathing. Now we notice our energy body as a lighted sphere. Breathing here we soon move up an octave to a higher realm of light and spiritual energy. We being to notice we are in connection with our Divine Self. The Divine Self is not the soul. The soul connects the human consciousness with the Divine Self. We enter into a union and resonance with the Divine Self. It sends us love, support and guidance. A flow of brilliant light comes down from above filled with sacred geometric shapes that flow around us, harmonizing and nourishing us.

Deep listening. Following the sound of the inner voice. Learning to discern your inner guidance as uplifting, nurturing, kind and soothing. We practice listening to our breath, recognizing the breath can bring us to center and balance. The Divine Pattern is outworking all around us at all times. We can learn to find our place in the pattern by using our imagination at first in the inner realms. As we loosen old ways of looking outside of ourselves for wisdom and truth, we begin to find the inner truth can take many forms: color and light, sound and depth, feelings of certain clarity. We must take the time to be still, breathe and release our personality-level ideas of what should be. Find the inner knowingness by allowing. It takes practice. This type of meditation that leads you deep into your own beingness is the key to finding the sound of the pure tone of truth within.

We as human beings are an essential link in the cosmic web. In our embodiment, we join heaven and earth energies. We begin today with stretching and settling into our bodies. We notice a stream of light energy from the heavens flowing into our heads and down to our feet. After a few breaths, we begin to draw energy up from the earth into our bodies. The energies begin to set up a union of heaven and earth through our focus. This is easily done as a playful exercise. After our pranayama, we notice our aura and body of light, filling in the frequencies of light and color, patterns of harmony. We begin to lift our earth reality to the higher octave of light. We also follow the energy down to the earth plane, imbuing ordinary reality with light and energy from the higher realms. The two become one. We are the focus of the joining, through our energy systems and our attention. We allow this expansion on behalf of all of humanity, radiating this light out for all to use.

We have so many opinions and sentiments about abundance. This week, we use our awareness of how the breath moves in the body, especially when we are in the top of the breath and letting the breath flow out. Air is inherently abundant on our planet earth. When we notice the fluid flowing breath, we find abundance and recognize the nourishment of breath. As we expand into breathing as our Divine Self, we know that qualities such as harmony, peace and love are all infinitely abundant. We recognize our inherent ability to sense our divine self and expand into its awareness. We begin to find our place in the divine plan. The divine plan does not require surrender of self but becomes an enhancement of self, for as you find the place where you can offer the highest and best of who you are, the plan returns to you a flow of high quality purity that buoys you higher and higher. You become the best you can be and more and more of your highest good can flow to you.

This episode marks the beginning of a new exploration of Breathing as Your Divine Self. What does that mean? We will be exploring what is the Divine Self, how we can expand our awareness of ourselves  in this larger wholeness and what it means to breathe in this way. We start with some exploration of our Optimum Breath, opening our capacity to breathe in a way that is balanced for our activity, fluid and flowing and open in all areas of the breathing space. We use the breath to clear our minds and settle the emotional body. Moving on from our pranayama practice we then find ourselves using the imagination to sense, play and open to the energies of our greater being. We use the power of breath to expand into potentials for new openings, new vistas, finding what is moving toward us in the greater world, connecting to purpose. We finish by breathing into any portion of the physical body that needs attention or focus at this time. Optimum breath leads to opportunity to heal.

Welcome to what’s next for you. Two links below recognizing the people of Maui as they use their sacred waters to create a cleansing ritual known as a Paddle Out. This paddle out had over 1000 surfboards and riders, all singing their hearts into the light of the ocean. Many had not seen each other or their Lahaina home since the fires last month. Trigger alert: The longer of the two videos has views of the fires and the burned landscape. The shorter video has only video of the water and surfers and some local people sharing with the reporter.
 
In the breathing practice we find clear energies and openings. We refresh our pranayama and notice all the light it brings into our being. The sphere of light all around us, our etheric body or aura, shimmers with new energies. Noticing all that we can bring in that creates more and more beauty, sounds, colors, memories, joy, love, peaceful flow. As we move deeper into the meditation, we lift higher, noticing whatever may be ready to shift for us first as energy, then as color or patterns or waves of heart-full emotion. Light pours in, refreshing and renewing us. We are aware of opening to what is ready for a shift or whatever is next for us.
