AWARE BREATHING

There are so many ways to feel the power of God this moment simply by watching your breath. By following your breath, you can calm your mind and relax your body. You can go beyond the finite and touch the infinite if you watch the breath go in and out with deep concentration. When you are aware of the breath, the sun of the Gods shines through the in-breath, takes the darkness, and melts it in your heart. The out-breath then becomes filled with light.

 

If you live in awareness of your breath, every moment becomes special in itself. The world will not pull you into its chaos if you are aware of the breath going in and out. Breathing with awareness is the sacredness of the moment. The breath allows you to rise to a higher level of consciousness. The breath is the greatest and simplest tool that God has given to you.


The depth with which you follow your own breath during meditation or during your day is the clue to how fast and how deeply you are walking toward your path. As your breath brings you deeper within your own being, you start to trust yourself. You begin to trust your own dignity and truth. The breath will bring you a new awareness of your own hidden consciousness. You will begin to shine through your own being. All of this is yours because of the awareness of your breath.


Your breath is the fastest and truest way to be in the moment. Pay attention to your breath, and that will allow you to pay attention to all you do. Bring all thoughts into silence by bringing your awareness to the breath. You can manifest within you the ability to be one with your Beloved this very second. You can start with the quieting of the breath, thus quieting your life and becoming aware.
