How to Stay Centered and Calm!

How do you get through these times of trial and tribulation?

How do you stay centered and calm in times of struggle and change?

The answer my friend, is simple---BREATHE!

That’s right. Not only is it simple but it is actually an automatic function of your beingness.

That is why it is so important to actually focus on it and expand it to greater levels. Realize that normally you do not even think about breathing it just happens, but what is the first thing that you will learn when you are about to birth a child into this world—BREATHE!.

The answer is always the same. Always come back to concentrating on the breath. Breathe through the obstacles and troubles that are pressing you.

This works on many levels and for many reasons. Here are a few.

The science behind the breath is easy to understand. Without oxygen your body perishes. Oxygen is the most vital ingredient for your functioning in this life. Go without food for a month, go without water for a week but go without oxygen for more than a few minutes and it is game over. Now, realize that when you start expanding your breath and bringing in more oxygen your body perks up, your brain starts getting the vitality it needs and starts functioning better, with increased energy and increased blood flow.

The breath gets your body functioning properly. The blood starts flowing carrying this vital oxygen to places where the oxygen was low. You won’t even realize you were functioning at half potential until you start breathing, then you feel the difference. Start breathing and moving together and you may start a chain reaction in your body that will bring you to a whole new place.

The next reason for me to focus on my breath is the same reason people meditate. It brings focus and clarity to my mind which normally moves a thousand miles a minute.
It slows down my mind and body to the point that I can release and empty the thoughts and babble bouncing around in my mind. This gives me a sense of peace and the realization that no matter what may be happening out there, inside I am calm and peaceful. Everything is alright.

The next reason is the most important to me and it is about belief. When you breathe you would do well to imagine that it is God’s essence you are breathing. It is the divine essence of life that courses in and out of your body filling you with it’s power and grace. If you can visualize this essence flowing in and out of your body you will realize even more powerful results. The air you breathe, the oxygen around you, is the breath of life. It is the energy of the universe just waiting for you to take it in and direct it. It is the breath of God. There is no thing more powerful anywhere.

So, you can now see breathing is the most important thing you can do for yourself today, there are tremendous benefits to be had by focusing on its rhythm.

Start your practice of breath awareness today and open your self to a whole new perspective.
You won't be disappointed!


Love and blessings,
