Healing through Breathing


The following phrase from a coaching tape of Jim Leonard, founder of Vivation Breathing Technique, really struck me as intriguing ''You can enjoy your life just as it is right now.''  The right now bit really got me interested. What, with all this shit going on some enjoyment might seep in?

Another phrase, in this vein of thought, is from Ram Dass the spiritual teacher and author of Be Here Now - ''Is the shit you are in good enough?''  The idea being to accept the negative and unwanted aspects of your life. Accept it as being where you are now, and use it to create some good thing. To work with it to do something good.

Accepting and even enjoying your life right now, makes you more able to make decisions and take actions that allow your life to grow in the direction of your ideal life.

This is the power of accepting and enjoying the challenges of life. It is easy to enjoy the good and wonderful that is in your life, and by allowing that to encompass what is unwanted in your life, arises the power to dissolve or transform that which is unwanted in your life; not being overwhelmed by it, for overwhelm paralyses you and leaves you incompetent to make any positive changes.

It is almost like separating the negative from the positive and not allowing the negative emotions take over or overshadow that which is going well in your life. Rather allowing the positive emotions be the driving force that propels the negative into change. It is a constant flow, and sometimes the current is fast. 

There are always good things in your life and there are always bad things in your life. Enjoying the good and aware of the bad puts you in the position to be able to transform the bad into something better. I guess this is how the enjoyment seeps in and becomes part of the equation concerning something negative. Many might call that a miracle, for we are not used to transforming the negative. It is a new skill and we can master it. In fact I personally believe that that is what life is all about - transformation. 

Non-attachment would be another way to view it. You can act in a manner that heals a negative situation. To win the battle as it were. To enjoy winning! To think we are not Spiritual Warriors in our lives is a mistake. We all have challenges and 'battles' to fight and if we deny their existence then we surely lose. 

Facing up to and integrating the good in our life while embracing the negative and, though emotional resolving let the overall goodness of life seep through the challenges, we win. We truly do win. Not always in the conventional sense of more money, more material possessions or prestige won at the cost of people and animals and the earth, but winnings of camaraderie, friendship, a deep soulful, authentic meaningful life of connection and healing.

All of us, if we allow ourselves to day dream, have an image, or idea, of how our life would look if it were ''perfect''. Addiction, eating when full, running away from our issues and unpleasant emotions is not empowering you to change your life, it is deepening a grove of negativity that created that life challenge to begin with.

In Breath-work, especially Rebirthing Breath-work there is the concept of the Five Biggies. These are - Birth Trauma, Your Personal Lie, School Trauma, the Death Urge and Parental Disapproval. Within these, lie the creating factors of the experiences you have throughout your life. And working on healing any aspect of these allows you to change your life. In fact when you have resolved any part of one of these five biggies your life automatically changes - yes! Awesome and I have experienced it many times. After a breath-work session or an intensive workshop my life not only feels different but outer changes would occur in line with the goals I was striving for, thus proving to me that the inner work is the necessary part of the outer desired changes.

I offer one to one Rebirthing Sessions via Skype - £55 per  session. Sessions usually last one and a half to two hours. I recommend ten session and offer discounts to those on a low income.

Remember to breathe the breath of life deeply and consciously for therein lies freedom and peace, authenticity and grace. A life different to what you know, a life improved on from what you know, a life moulded and shaped by a conscious and aware you.

Awareness of the pattern

To give up any addiction successfully you do not have to abstain from the object of your addiction. In other words the first step in giving up any addiction (contrary to popular belief) is not about abstaining from the food when full, the drink or drugs, gambling etc.  The first step in to be AWARE of your pattern of behaviour.  That means you become aware of when the craving kicks in, and you become aware of your thoughts drifting towards indulging in the object of your addiction. You reach out for the glass of wine. You catch yourself arranging to have that cheesecake even though you are physically full. You reach for the cigarette or vape. This awareness then needs to be extended as it were, you need to be aware of how you are doing emotionally at that specific time the craving kicks in. In this awareness of how you feel emotionally comes the  ability to actually find an alternative means of coping with that emotional dilemma other than just suppressing / numbing it wi...

Integration

There is something about having healed a situation or trauma that empowers you.  Maybe you suffered from some abuse for example, a tone of voice or a manner that a parent had that triggers you to this day. If your spouse or a shop assistant or friend even, displays this same behaviour it can be very upsetting for you if you have not healed that original culprit. You may drink or overeat to numb the issue and carry on allowing that person to behave that way, you carry on being around that person never calling out that behaviour that may be rude or abusive to whatever degree. Either way you are  stuck in that situation with that person until you heal the original culprit, the parental behaviour that was your first experience or wounding of that kind.  So through giving up eating when full, drink etc and allowing yourself to be fully aware of how that behaviour makes you feel, if you feel it is abusive or rude or overstepping boundaries and even you may be dismissive of it a...

Healing the Eating Habit

So, to be a writer you have got to write. Luckily for me I have always loved writing; from I was a little girl at school and given a story to write and a picture to draw about that story, to now, writing self-help books and novels. The inspiration strikes and you cannot help but write. It feeds you to write when you love to write, just like it feeds you when you actually paint and you love painting.  The reason I mention this is that it is a little known fact that one must do what one loves. If you love to fish, then fish, make time for it, gather the equipment, learn the knowledge, hang out with fishermen. You get the picture. It is not rocket science. To avoid this is disastrous (another seemingly little known fact) because you will always feel something is missing. Something important only to you, and this is when the addictions and overeating kick in, for it is painful to know there is this lack in your life. Maybe you do not even know what you are interested in, or would like ...
