The breath ...
is the bridge that connects life with consciousness,
... that unites your body with your thoughts.
Thich Nhat Hanh
With this quote from Thich Nhat Hanh (who recently left this earth) I would like to invite you to take a deep breath right NOW and just listen.
- What CAN you HEAR with your heart? -
Perhaps you can feel the space around you in which you are embedded in BEING in every moment? You allow your breath to be a bridge to your body, your emotions, your consciousness, ... the song of your soul in this moment. Yes, you can even give your thoughts space without doing anything with them. Don't worry ... thoughts are also a valuable part of you and they come and go. They move through your head like a train through a station. With every conscious breath, you can decide whether you want to get on board this train of your thoughts or whether you want to take another deep breath and simply feel how wonderful it is that the sun is already unfolding a gentle warmth on your face and this conjures up a smile on your face.
Yes, humanity is very challenged right now. We are going through strong waves of conflict and change. Nothing fits together anymore. All kinds of systems and structures are affected, out there in the human world, but also deep inside each and every one of us. Two years of corona, progressive inflation and now war. It is sweeping through many countries like a gigantic energy vortex and nothing remains untouched. We realize how exhausted we are. Will all this bring clarity or destruction? Is it perhaps even comparable to the pain of childbirth in which the new reality awakens? We don't know...
Each individual is challenged to ask themselves the essential questions: „What is my truth? What values do I want to shape my life according to? How much freedom and self-determination is important to me personally? What creates peace and security in me? Yes, it shakes us and when we open up we can experience what is going on energetically and physically. I would like to invite you, despite all this and perhaps right now, to let your heart expand and breathe. Let yourself be touched by what you feel. Feel that you can breathe with it and stay present in the NOW.
Deep inside you, in your center - your center, there is a light burning. It is the light of your soul, the flame of your soul. It is always there by your side and you can connect with it with every breath you take. Breathe into your light and allow it to shine. You are needed just as you are. Feel everything is energy... life is the „song of your soul“: Every breath sends the message of love into the world... through breath we are all connected. When you breathe into your light and let it shine, you send hope and strength to people who are experiencing darkness. You let them know that light is always stronger than any darkness and they are not alone ... we all breathe together.
So I would like to close this newsletter with a wonderful breathing meditation by Carol Lampman. Perhaps you would like to join me in practicing the „Ideal breath“ breathe. I can feel how it breathes me full of love and light. It does me good to be completely with myself and at the same time connected with the world.
All the love
