The Importance Of The Breath

Our breath is the only thing that proves that the physical body is alive. It connects us to our life force or the Source of life. It keeps us alive and in touch with our own innate resources or information fields of consciousness. Fear is what disconnects us from breathing fully into our bodies. When the breath is shallow it causes restrictions in the flow of life force, creating blockages of stagnant energy. These will eventually affect the organs within the body. These blocks anchor the emotions, beliefs, and perceptions that caused the initial reason for not breathing fully. Think of these blockages as stored memories that will create symptoms affecting our health or well-being.

Our unconscious mind knows exactly what happened at a point in time that caused us to REACT and hold our breath, trapping and anchoring into the body/mind those unpleasant feelings. These are registered in the brain as a belief about ourselves or our lives that we feel are traumatic to us. It causes our life force to become stuck in the mind, which should otherwise be moving through the body. A universal rule is that energy has to move as it’s in constant flux, rhythm, vibration, or frequency patterns of expression, none of which is static without becoming stagnant.

This life-enhancing energy is coming at us cosmically and is meant to enter through our breath, move through our bodies, and then be grounded in the earth.

When we can breathe fully into our bodies, that energy flows down through our bodies and into the ground. This aligns us with all of creation and when we are aligned, we function well; we feel calm, and we achieve equilibrium.

The breath connects us to our soul as well as our own light, unconditional love, and wisdom. Breathing with the intention to know or discover something allows that to take place. It is that simple.
