Our Divine Breath
When we breathe, we breathe in that radiant fuel of life. Not only is
good quality air full of oxygen, but it is full of the life-force energy
around us. This is the same energy that is channelled in Reiki,
gathered in Tai Chi, and released and balanced during acupuncture.
It is the subtle energy we consciously feel when we sense that
someone is “laid back” or “intense”. Each person’s pattern of energy
is as unique to them as their fingerprints. All living things are made
up of energy. We are all connected to animals, plant life and other
human beings. The breath connects us to our divine source and has
been given to us to remind us down to the core of our being who we
are.
Breathing is one if the best gifts we can give our body, mind and
spirit. We bathe all layers of our self with this energy every time we
inhale, and then we release toxins, stress and any unhealthy
energies every time we exhale. By learning to breathe properly you
can have a more balanced, happy and healthy life. Breathe into
every organ, every fibre of your soul. Allow each part of your body to
work optimally by giving it life-force energy.
When the vital reserves in the human energy field or aura are
depleted through illness, environmental pollutants, or stress, we
suffer disease. If we replenish this vital energy, we can ensure our
health and vitality and extend our lives.
Watch a dog or cat the next time it yawns. Fido or Fifi will open
their jaws completely as if they were a snake devouring its prey. We
can learn a lot by watching animals, especially in the wild. When we
yawn, it is because we need more energy or oxygen to our cells. Why
shouldn’t we yawn like a great lion, taking in as much oxygen as our
body needs? Society tells us to cover our mouths as if we were
coughing, when we’re not expelling at all, we’re inhaling. So go
ahead. Take that deep, unabandoned yawn and give your body the
energy bath it deserves.
