BREATHING TECHNIQUE

One can practice this technique at night just before going to sleep, and in the morning on waking up.

Lie on your back and gently lay your palms on your stomach. Start breathing in slowly and deeply and feel how your stomach expands as you breathe. Now, breath out also slowly and deeply, feeling how your stomach contracts as the air exits.

Keep doing this for at least five minutes (or more if you so choose), always breathing slowly, deeply and with intention, taking each breath with purpose and power.

While you do this imagine that the air you breathe out is dark and contains all your traumas, fears, sicknesses, hurts, anything you need to get rid of.
When you breathe in, the air is fresh, nurturing, shiny and bright:

Red – Vitality, Strength
Yellow – Prosperity, Abundance, Wisdom
Orange – Creativity, Joy, Concentration, Sensuality
Green – Healing, Balance
Blue (turquoise) – Peace, Communication
Blue (Indigo) – Intuition, Clairvoyance
Violet – Protection, Serenity, Spirituality
Rose – Unconditional Love, Self love, Harmony

One should use this technique for 21 consecutive days at the time

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Why keep insisting in New Year Resolutions which remain unfulfilled year after year?
I decided years ago that this was a waste of my time as I think these yearly resolutions belong to the same category as the diets which start on a Monday and invariably finish on Tuesday.
It is great to remain positive and optimistic but I feel one must also be realistic and I honestly do not conclude this merely according to my personal experience, I have yet to meet one person who tells me that they did stick to their New Year resolution and that they were successful…
So, at the risk of alienating some of you, I believe we must live one day at the time, make our resolutions short term, as we go along, and try our best to overcome our lessons on a “here and now” basis, knowing that some we accomplish others we might not, but we can always try again the next day…
Love & Light

SEVEN STEPS TO CONTROL THE EGO - 7

7. Drop all concerns about your reputation.

Your reputation does not reside in you. It is situated in other people’s minds and you have no control over it. If you give a speech for thirty people you will have thirty different images.

To connect with the Source means you must listen to your heart and lead your life based on what your inner voice tells you.
That is your purpose while you are here.

6. Abandon the idea you have of yourself based on your deeds.

It is a rather difficult concept to follow when we are convinced that the person is its achievements. God composes all music, God builds all buildings, God is the Source of all realizations. I can hear egos protesting loudly, but start getting used to this idea: It all emanates from the Source. You and the Source are one! You are not that body, its achievements or its failures. You are an observer. So, observe all around you and be grateful for the accumulated capacities. All credit belongs to the Source which created you and of which you are a materialized part. The least credit you attribute to yourself for your achievements the more you are connected to the Source and the freer you are to achieve, and much more will turn up in your path. When we remain attached to our achievements and we believe that we did it all ourselves, we turn our backs to peace and gratitude to the Source.

5. Stop wanting to have more.

The Mantra of the Ego is “More”. The Ego is never satisfied. Never mind how much it conquers or achieves, Ego always insists it is still not enough. It pushes us to a continuous state of search and it eliminates the possibility of arrival. In truth, we are there already and the manner in which we choose to make use of the present moment is our decision. When you cease the need for more, the things you most desire most come to you. Without the attachment to more it is easier to share with others, as you understand how little you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.
The Universal Source is Happyness itself, it expands and creates new life constantly. It never creates obstacles to its own creations for selfish reasons. It creates and it lets go. When we end the ego’s need to have more we become one with the Source. Observe and appreciate all you receive, remember St Francis of Assisi powerful lesson: “It is giving that you receive”. When we allow abundance to shower us we align with the Source and we allow its flow.

4. Stop feeling that you are Superior.

True nobility is not a matter of being better than others. It is a matter of being better than what we were before. Focus on your own growth, knowing that nobody in this planet is better than anybody else. We all emanate from the same Creative Life Source. We all have the mission of fulfilling our intended essence, and all we need in order to do so is available to us. Unfortunately that will not be possible when we feel superior to others. There is an old but true saying: We are all alike in the eyes of God. Let go of the need to feel superior, understand the presence of God in everyone. Do not judge people on their conquests, image, possessions or any other ego rating. When you project superiority feelings, you get back hostility and bitterness. Those feelings carry you away from the Source. Making a distinction leads to making comparisons, and it is based on seeing the other’s fault, it keeps looking for and exposing all the other’s faults.
