Our breath is always there for us. It is our anchor, our haven, our most powerful regulating tool.
When we practice being with the breath, we can come home, we can rest, we can let go into presence.

A simple, yet very powerful breathing exercise is to breath in (through the nose) for the count of seven, hold for seven, breath out (through the mouth) for seven, hold for seven before breathing in again. Do this for seven rounds. It will change your state. It is good throughout this, to keep the tongue on the roof of your mouth.

To walk the path of our heart’s deepest truth brings all of our pain and challenges to the surface. It is a path of courage, forbearance, strength, fortitude and faith.

The gift of facing and being with ourselves to such depth is that of allowing our wounds to be profoundly seen, honoured, healed and released.

It is a path of authenticity.
Complete authenticity, within ourselves and with others, is no small matter. It is a life’s work.

Thank you for being you.

Who are we to doubt the workings of the universe?!

Self awareness and observation brings the capacity for conscious choice and better relationships.

It is challenging to face our demons and the things we judge ourselves for, however when we get support to look within and with non-judgement learn more about ourselves; our protective mechanisms and patterns, it is empowering and brings healing and capacity for change.

Silence is always there in the depth of our essential aware being.

When we open to life with a beginners mind, we are able to listen, learn, discover and receive.
If we think we know, on some level we are not alive, we are closed.

“It’s the most humbling thing in the world to know that we don’t know. To know that we can’t know in our minds. This opens the way for us. The way to the greatest knowing is through not knowing.”
Adyashanti.

When we learn to be present and balanced with ourselves with our more difficult feelings, we become more authentic and we gain more choice and control over how we share and relate with others.

Connect in with silence everyday.

Be aware of your protective mechanisms. If we are unconscious to them, they can end up generating the very thing we are trying not to have.
For example if we’re trying to avoid rejection or loss, with our protective mechanisms we might (consciously or unconsciously) not let people fully in. Then with time they end up stepping back from a relationship with us, because they don’t feel the connectedness and closeness they need. The loss and rejection is fulfilled.
A tricky pattern to get out of.
The first step is to raise our awareness around our patterns and underlying fears.
