I just finished reading a friend’s comment from yesterday’s post… James says he’s given up his business (he’d had it for many years) and he’s sitting at home with his cat, uncertain of what to do and waiting for what’s next to become apparent… What courage! He shares that as fear comes up, he breathes thru it…

Breaths thru it, breaths thru it…

I know that breath well; it has saved me a thousand times from the very hounds of hell… it has saved friendships when I took the time to pause, saved countless harsh words from passing these lips…

This breath has brought me peace in the face of danger; real and imagined. It has brought clarity in moments of uncertainty, has given courage in the face of the unknown, when something deep within urged me to step forward and I was unsure…

These days, as the spiritual energies continue to increase and profoundly alter the landscape of our lives, we are being presented with old patterns of judgment and beliefs that cannot go with us into the future… Like ancient family secrets they rear their ugly heads, seeking re-animation or release, release from the cycle of re-activation and knee-jerk response…

One of the simplest ways I have found to safely, consistently and even joyfully surf these intensified energies is with the breath…

Its become instinctive… reading James’ description, I found myself taking a deep breath… just as I’m taking a deep breath right now…

(Ahhhhhhhhh…..)

And as I take this breath; the air going into my lungs mixing with feelings of mindfulness and relaxation, my awareness follows it…

This breath, filled with loving energy, goes into and expands beyond the image of these lungs and this body… propelled by a motion all its own it goes deeper, to a vastness behind the curtain of ‘me’ and ‘you’…

I see the web, a meshed grid of connectivity that extends out of sight… the web of life; the energetic grid behind all form and illusion of separation…

Watching, I see the energy of this one conscious breath adding more light to this already pulsing grid..  I feel the energy of this blessing mixing and adding to the whole… insignificant as one breath might seem to the mind, I watch in awe the difference one breath makes… one drop joining another and another…

OMG… I feel this! This is the grid of our awakening Oneness!

And in inspiration, I take another breath…

… and feel love deepening; feel James and me and you and all of us, feel where we are all connected, all One… from some witness viewpoint I see the grid growing brighter, more vibrant from every… single… act… of love everywhere…

Such is the magic and power of these times, that our every act of love significantly affects everything everywhere… I am in awe of these times, give thanks to the wisdom of taking birth to be here now…

And I take in another… slow… conscious… breath, feel it blessing every… single… cell in this body and beyond…

And what of your… breath… this …day…? How… is… it… blessing you…?

“Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God” Tielhard de Chardin

God, fulfillment, Oneness, Union…

We search, we look, we think…  we wander thru life like beggars, searching…

All the while surrounded, immersed, saturated…

Its never anyplace else but right here, right now, in this moment…

Life is in the breath, life is the breath…

Any time, anywhere, in a moment, we return to oneness, to the present, with our breath…

Yes, it is this simple… You already know this truth…

A single breath, uniting heaven and earth, human and divine, you and God…

Our minds are trained to take us away, (it can’t be that simple… its more complicated than that… move on, this is crazy talk…)

Our minds are conditioned, invested, to return us to the hunt, seeking…

What do you want? Anther prize, another victory, another achievement

that will yet again disappoint you? Beautiful Being, nothing short of the Infinite

can fulfill you,

nothing short of Totality

is worthy of you…

Stop the seeking, throw down the cards, tip over the scale of us and them, yes and no, win and lose,

and fill yourself with what has always been present…

The Breath, uniting you with the infinite

of who you are…

in a single breath…

Wow, its crazy today… Its been crazy all week!

Anyone notice how fast things are moving these days? And they’re going to keep moving faster!

What to do? Regardless of how hectic, I can always return to the breath…

Breath…      Smile…     Relax…       Its a foolproof formula!

Amidst a whirlwind of doing, responding, preparing and organizing, a single breath brings me back to center…

Again and again…

And again…

Again…

Ahhh…

Breath;

Its how we start and finish this life…

Where did your breath come from???

(Where is it going???)

I’m back in West Texas, led a company retreat for my friend Allison’s dental practice the past two days. We went back to the same ranch and this time came up with a new company mission statement, all the while elevating our collective awareness into shifting out of our stories and into the present moment (more details later – it will be juicy!)

So today Allsion and Sandra did dental work on me. I had approximately 12 old fillings removed from 6 teeth, and four teeth prepped for onlays (onlays are like a short crown).

All without novicane. None. Nada.

Did it hurt?

Depends on your definition of hurt. Many of the fillings went way past the enamel and into the sensitive dentin. (OK, I”m bragging now…)

How did I do it without novicane?

By breathing…

Whenever it hurt (yes, it hurt), I would take a deep breath, and let everything go…

And another deep breath…

And another…

(are you with me yet?)

And another…

And just notice…

The same way I’m going to sleep in a few minutes…

A deep breath…

And notice…
