It has occurred to me that my consciousness is so used to having my mind be in charge, that when I am actually still and present, it feels strange. There seems to be discomfort with a void being present. The truth is, at least in my experience, that being still and empty takes a bit of getting used to. There also seems to be a gradational aspect, or varying degrees, to stillness. Not that I wish to measure this, however, an accurate example might be analogous to the alpha, beta and gamma levels or depths. In any case, I am realizing more and more that open and empty space is natural and essential to allow the true expression of the Spirit of origination and of my unique spirit. When I AM present, there is an experience that could be described as a seamless flow from my center of Being. This experience, I would say, is not yet constant for me; however, it is on the increase, as I do find myself hearing a call from within whenever I find myself drifting away from the sensory orifice of, and in, the NOW.

There are questions that come to me, in this moment: “Can I listen and see without questioning that which is present? ” There is a great difference between being ‘in discovery’ and that of ‘questioning.’ “Can I allow, and work with, all things as they are, without trying to change them or make them different?” If I don’t ‘need’ things to be different, I don’t ‘try’ to change them. Testing, comparing and studying things in great detail have not, and does not, serve the creative process. This point may be argued by scientists and others who have convinced themselves that they are truly serving mankind through their painstaking efforts. However, as our society departed and continues to depart the simplest way of living and approaching life, it departed from that which was natural. I see where human nature thinks that it is. It’s almost like a rat who journeyed quite far into a maze which was projected from a reaction to an illusion and now it’s trying to figure how to get out of the maze. However, illusions have no real escape, but they do disapear as reality is acknowledged. Life does in fact allow the walls of the maze to come down or to disappear, as there’s understanding that it’s actually an illusion.

Another analogy would be in trying to purify the dirty water in a glass. The water is your life and you can’t put your life through a strainer or filter very effectively. All that you really have to work with is adding more water to the glass. As one keeps pouring clean water into the glass of dirty water, water starts overflowing. The water that overflows is a combination of dirty and clean water. Eventually, after enough clean water is added, the ‘dirt’ in the water is brought down to an undetectable and insignificant level. Eventually, you might be able to say that no dirty water exists in your glass. The key, however, is not in that omission. The key is to just be focused on letting clean water be poured forth continually. Don’t try to measure your progress. Just keep pouring! I AM grateful to know that whatever I choose to pour forth is that which always creates my experience in this precious Life!

What is gossip and who does it serve? Gossip is a form of communication that is spoken to a person about someone who is not present and it is usually expressed by a person who is feeling insecure. Who does gossip serve?… no one, actually. When something is said about someone with a tone of critique, it cannot serve anyone. Sometimes, people do make errors in life. Some of these errors can be constructively addressed, but how and when is it done? It seems to make the most sense to offer awareness at the point where the issue originated, because it serves no purpose to put a band aid on your thumb when your toe is actually bleeding. It’s all about taking true responsibility for that which one perceives. There is often some truth behind whatever prompts us to speak about another person in a way that can be construed as gossip. The problem may not have to do with one’s perception. However, if one doesn’t share the thoughts and feelings about what one perceived with the source of origination, what good does it do?… none or very little.

The quality of any relationship is predicated largely on the validity of communication. If I think or feel something and I don’t share it, the essence of it begins to grow a life of its own. This outworking makes it almost impossible to be consciously present, because the knowledge and feeling that are carried forth are incomplete. This can create a void or an emotional wound. It doesn’t need to be a gaping wound to have a substantial overall affect. One may say to oneself, “This is a small thing and I don’t need to address it ,”and then just slough it off so as not to make a federal case out of it. However, these things do add up in both our consciousness and subconscious and affect our generation much more than we may realize.

From my experience, whatever I choose not to address or not to handle now tends to just grow and get worse. But as I communicate fully and freely, I allow Life to encompass that which is moving in my experience and in the experiences of others. Our fears that are in place are largely because of a false ego. The false ego can and must be released into a perfect Love so that internal and external judgments can be removed, allowing Spirit a creative space to be expressed within each of us.

Let us begin to see each other in a new way that allows loving and complete communication. When anyone perceives something that feels amiss, just let your most loving way of being form the pillar of your expression, directing the sharing of your perception. I am not here to make someone look bad or be wrong, but I am here to offer a perspective through my perception. It is more than my right, it is my responsibility to do so, and to do so with lots of Love!

While not everyone believes in a Supreme Deity, our Creator, most do. It is my greatest fortune to know our Creator through the Love that is present in Spirit. I refer to the Supreme Source as God. My work and my life are all about serving this One–God. I bring this up only because of the importance of the Healing Breath, which is an expression that originates from Spirit. No matter what one names the Supreme Source which is universally identified through Love, the Healing Breath demonstrates that truest expression. The Healing Breath system is all about the transformation of the respiratory process and consciousness, creating a facility attuned with nature. From a respiratory standpoint, it reverses how most breathe. The vast majority of people take breath in and let only a portion of it back out. That is not how we were designed to breathe.

Specific observation of the way that a healthy infant breathes reveals that the infant pushes out the air that is in its lungs almost completely out with each breath. Air intake is an effortless process that occurs as the abdominal muscles are relaxed. This way of breathing characterizes what is true to nature. As the infant develops or grows within the current world condition, an unnatural reversal has taken place, as far as respiratory function is concerned. This reversal has taken place because of many factors that all point to what the state of human atmosphere has been. We have created an abrasive world that created voids and fears in the human experience. Many, many moons ago, when mankind stopped moving and creating in sync with nature, fear and voids brought forth these domineering by-products, as far as man’s experiential aspects are concerned.

There have been arguments by some in the medical sciences that say that the infant starts reversing the respiratory process because that is what it does “naturally,” as the physical body of our Being develops. However, interestingly enough, the changes that are caused by the reversal have been one of major causes of disease and dysfunction in our bodies. Lack of and poor use of oxygen in our bodies cause a multitude of diseases and disorders.

Going beyond the physical aspect of benefits that the Healing Breath offers, a person quite naturally starts thinking in terms of giving and receiving versus taking and giving back just a portion. Through such an emotional shift, a new living impetus is created by virtue of thinking and interacting as a Being that is present to provide something. Balanced giving and receiving begin as the new impetus gradually becomes the expression of one’s Identity, one’s true Identity. The experience of true Being can be the experience offered by the Healing Breath as it experientially improves the hosting ability of Stillness, Perception and Blessing… Thus, our worlds are transformed, as beauty shines from within.

The primary seed that assisted me in creating or developing the Healing Breath came from an incredibly advanced man by the name of Lloyd Arthur Meeker (pen name Uranda). I found the work and expression of this man’s spirit and genius to be unquestionable and unequivocal. Uranda also brought this world a spiritual energetic modality called Attunement. For over 27 years, I have been an Attunement Practitioner. After many years of practice, I also became a Teacher of Attunement. My knowledge, training, discipline and experience from Attunement, in conjunction with many years of being a martial artist, gave me the tools which allowed me, though Spirit, to create the Healing Breath. The Healing Breath is designed to retrain the respiratory mechanics, long thought to be an involuntary system that could not be altered. However, as the Healing Breath has proven, the respiratory mechanics can be reversed and therefore changed so as to improve their functional ability.

These are the thoughts that are moving through me. I invite you to click on ‘comments ‘ and share your thoughts and experiences on this subject.

There is a natural creative rhythm which allows that which is coming forth through Life to be continually assisted in its manifestation. In my experience, being still is actually better described as being empty – not trying to bring anything forth from the past. Still or empty is a state that does not automatically dictate conscience on what could be considered good or bad. From a still or empty place, I can begin to perceive while in Life’s flow. From a still place I can perceive the fitness of things. As my perception is from a still or empty space, the Blessing or giving forth of my conscious encompassment is a natural outworking. The truest outworking of Blessing does not try to change anything. There is a huge difference between letting something be revealed naturally and pointing people and circumstances towards fulfillment of a desired outcome.

Blessings only move forth when I, or anyone, looks at people and circumstance with eyes of acceptance and appreciation. I am here to invite Life to be what it naturally is. The struggle and manipulations end as I allow myself to slow down so that I perceive, speak and act from a still and centered place. Can I let Life bring forth what comes forth through its creative flow? Through each breath, a presence that honors All in each moment may come forth. The old thinking processes give way to an encompassing expression of Being!

I sit here realizing that nothing can be brought forth from yesterday or yesteryear to serve “Life” in the present moment. As I have been looking closely of late at my life and its history, I see many patterns of clinging to old ways that must be examined to move forward or actually to just survive. All that human nature ever does is to barely survive. I hear myself talking a different talk than that, but the reality of old patterns of thinking is still painfully unmistakable. It’s a subtle thing. I believe that it has been a matter of my thinking and doing the same things the same way for so long that it’s embedded deeply – right into something that could be considered very much an auto-thinking and doing mode. To change from this state requires me to really look at the most subtle details that form my moment to moment processing of information. Patterns seem to live in a place that hosts movement that has already been experienced. Outcomes keep repeating until a different way of processing information occurs. The success of Spirit is not possible, in my experience, while my consciousness holds to repeating patterns or to old ways of thinking. This is the wrestling match of human nature.

The overall experience of human nature is riddled with abandonment issues. Without the experience of Oneness with Spirit, there is the experience of being alone. Human nature arrives with the belief that ‘no one really knows me.’ Human nature thinks it must be known a certain way to feel loved or appreciated, so it goes to great lengths to be understood. The saving grace comes when I allow these capacities of spirit, mind, heart and body to be present, while not clinging to anything. Can a person live without his own plans? Can I proceed without expectations of anything? Even if I think that I can or am living without trying to fulfill my own plan, there can be those very subtle patterns (ways of processing life) that continue my movement on that very hollow and familiar track. Even as I stop and think that my consciousness is clear, there is actually a certain level of clarity that is essential but as yet unknown in the human experience, or at least in my experience.

I do know, from the standpoint of my own experience, that being truly creative must come from a complete place of Being. My personal human nature does not know completeness and I don’t feel that I am so different from anyone else in this regard. To some extent we’re all different, however, our similarity is in the transformational process through which we are each going. Something new is always coming through, as I let it be so. To know how to let life creatively manifest cannot be known ahead of time. It is known when I am actually present and it flows through me when I don’t place a past in it’s way. Life was not meant to be lived while adhering to personal plans or plans set to fill in spaces where voids are perceived, hosting one’s mere solo abilities. True usefulness must be continually discovered and always serves Spirit. However, Spirit itself must be continually discovered for it to be known. If I don’t allow my old ways of thinking that I knew, or know, what Spirit is pass away, I cannot and will not know Spirit in the present moment - the only place that Spirit lives!

I’ll bet many or most could come up with quite a list of things that they think or feel really matter a lot. Indeed, the focus of most people is on the form of life’s outworking. If you think about it, we experience so many different life scenarios that for us to fixate on any particular outworking, in any area of life, is like betting all the marbles on the chance that lightning will strike a particular tree during a storm. If you’ve ever known any gamblers, perhaps one that is considered degenerate, you can observe a pattern of addicted behavior that holds to the chance aspect of outworking. Winning or loosing becomes much less important (deep down inside) than just taking a chance. Well, I’ve got news for us, folks. In a sense, almost everyone (the vast majority of society) has become addicted to a living experience that seeks to improve life’s outworking in accordance with one’s personal agenda. As a result of such expectation, the status quo of life has become a roller coaster ride. We go out of our way to recreate outworking that we are accustomed to. Our personal chain of living experience is hard to break because it hosts a pattern or mechanism that is actually chemically based as it translated in the brain.

So what can I do about that? There is another part of us that is our truer self. It’s a place that is accessed through stillness. It’s an experiential container that is known through patience, tranquility, realization, assurance, radiance, wisdom and love (thanks, Uranda). As I allow my capacities to be still, I find my experience changing and these seven words (patience, tranquility, realization, assurance, radiance, wisdom and love), which describe the ultimate expression of “Being,” are a reality in my experience. A new place of center becomes known and my senses become a sensory guide that understands the essentialness of a divine atmospheric tone. The Tone becomes paramount in the living experience. The Tone becomes all that is necessary, as my circumstances are lifted up and transformed. Can I act with strength from this new place? Yes! Can I shout without experiencing anger? Yes, absolutely. Can I work with any of life’s challenges with effectiveness without being moved by outworking? The answer to that is actually that I can’t be truly effective any other way. This is because that which is most important is contained and created through the Tone!

While changing deep set patterns of living is not often an easy task, the strength of Spirit that is known through our access of true “Being,” can guide anyone into living a life that is experientially rich and complete through the divinity of the “Tone.”

After watching a movie entitled, “White Squall,” which I first saw several years ago when it came out, I was reminded of how important each and every person is in life and that we should never sell out on anyone. The moment that we sell out on a person –which is often when we learn just how important they were in our lives–we find in the end, that it would have been easier to simply hold steady, offering Love and appreciation. It is easier to move forward with all appropriate things, from a state of union. There are names that we use to describe union like ‘partners’, ‘partnership’ and ‘team.’ However, we often have limits on who we allow ourselves to consider being a part of us (on the same team). We tend to look at people that we don’t know very well with measuring eyes, fearing the unknown. There are some cultural aspects that influence factors of our allowance ability with others. But for the most part, the way that we view others and the actual people that we allow in our surround has much more to do with what we are creating in our life than anything else. Choices that I make bring me into fields and to people to whom my choices are connected. If my impetuous is created from a thinking state of division, that is what shows up in my world – being separate. If I want more friends or new friends or to improve the quality of friendship shared in my life, I may need to initiate change that increases my ability of allowance. It always must begin with me!
