The higher your consciousness, the more whole your life--and the greater is your access to health and happiness. To increase your awareness even a little is significant. Researchers are invited to read Dr. David Hawkins books on the subject, offered on the IBI website.  

Having awakened to the process of awakening, the next step is to heal the body. This step enables the soul to more freely express its creativity and joy. Then you become the source-connection of transformation for others. The lower body, housing the gut brain, is harmonized with the head/heart operating as one. The vibratory effect upon others is harmonious, uplifting and, in-turn, transformative. One-by-one, each part of the whole—represented by the individual-- sounds his note until music abounds.

 To review let's look at:

The ABC's of Higher Consciousness

Attitude--expectant or repellant; positive or negative; open or closed to Life; and embracing as differentiated from resisting; healing or declining; you can get better or you can get bitter. Make it a nice day!

Breath--Let your exhale demonstrate the complete surrender to God/Universe of all cares and concerns; becoming non-resistant to the tensions of the body, relax the cells, molecules and atoms. Use your breathing throughout your day, both to re-mind yourself of your spiritual nature, as well as to boost your health and energy. It works!

Choice--Either you listen to the voice for Love or the voice for Fear, that of ego. One knows that all are innocent; the other blames and sees the guilty. Teach your brain to tune into the Love channel; access your essence. Choose to awaken, to understand and to change. Your world will thank you.

Determination--Nothing happens without your dedicated effort. Even something as simple as breathing requires your participation. To achieve more in life, there must be more invested. Usually all that is required is the gift of time. Determine today that, just for today, you will be the determining factor in your life. Repeat this exercise tomorrow.

has its being in this Energy. It is called Soul, Creator/Source, God, Universe, All That Is. IT is bigger than can be imagined.

Focus--What you focus upon grows. Focus upon the joy in your life, express gratitude daily and move forward to meet your dreams. Your deepest dream is of unity, enlightenment, experiencing oneness, realization, actualization, transcendent consciousness. And not of material things. This is why when you get them, achieve, and succeed, you still hunger for more. The most magnificent dream is to achieve full enlightenment. It is a process that continues after awakening.

Freedom—In your soul you are free. The challenge is to bring that freedom fully into your life through management of your energy. Your beliefs create your emotions and determine your health. How free would you like to be? What beliefs would be required? Adopt them.

Grace--There is a never-ending flow of grace awaiting your awareness so that: Life is more joyous, and the bumps on the path become less disruptive as you learn/remember/awaken into higher mind, beyond that of egoic consciousness. Use your Full Wave Breathing to take you there faster and easier than ever before.

Heaven or Hell—You get to choose which state you will engage. If, as the master teachers say, “Heaven is within,” why aren’t you going there more often to visit? What would happen if you devoted (consecrated) 100 breaths each day to you? Would that take you inside; at least open the door? Who among you dares not find out?

Integrity—Being whole and complete is the essential nature of each soul. It is the potential within each individual seeking expression. What if you were to dedicate your next 100 Full Wave Breaths to feeling your wholeness, your integrity? How would that improve your attitude and, leading to the next step, your action in the world?

Exercise for the Soul
This month’s exercise is highly complex. It requires your sitting or lying down and considering your individual nature as energy. You have a body for your use. Let it be on its own as you breathe. You may breathe through your mouth or nostrils for the exercise. Enter a place of positive attitude within and mentally imagine your connection to the Universe.

1.      Expel the air remaining in your lungs by exhaling and drawing your abdomen toward your spine with muscular action.

2.      As you inhale, imagine this your inner light glowing and pulsing in  rhythm with your breath. 

3.     As you exhale, allow all of the muscles to become soft.

4.     Rest at the bottom of your exhale. Rather than immediately begin your inhale, simply wait until your body needs to breathe.

5.     Imagine that you are smiling as you inhale.

6.     Now, smile as you inhale.

7.     Imagine that you are smiling as you exhale.

8.     Now, smile as you exhale.

Continue for Twenty-five breaths or longer. Focusing on increasing the size of your energy field, the light within, with each inhale. Expand your ribs to the sides and stretch your rib cage up into your neck. (Please write to me and let me know of your result with this exercise.)

Commentary

       Imagine living in a culture where half the people totally ignore that fossil remains of human ancestors thus far discovered date back 9 million years. Instead they somehow believe that humans were divinely inserted within the last 10,000 years. They state their belief as based upon what they call “faith.”

Faith is usually meant to explain that they heard about it being in a book written by some man or men, who—according to some committee of  other men (no women)—had recorded an agreeable version of what some fellow was to have said about what was thought to have happened according to some other guy who also wasn’t there, but who collected stories about what someone else said based on what another who knew someone who was there said happened, and then wrote the story down in a symbolic language that has been translated into still different languages, distorting the original and energetic meaning at least 3-5 times.

Now imagine living in a society where most people don’t like your choice of television shows that you watch—or agree as to what automobile is the best choice. If you worry about such things, you will drive yourself crazy. The answer to it all is simple enough: Take a deep breath and let it out and yell, “So What!” Now don’t you feel better?

Lifestyle Management

Imagine that you began your day by listening to The Cosmic Waltz and breathing as you awaken and stretch. Next consider all for which you are grateful and visualize your day going well. Feed your body as if it depended upon it—it does. Adopt this simple regimen for a week and see if it doesn’t naturally improve the quality of your life.

Easy Does It

Yes, I know, it is unlikely to occur and if it did, increased longevity could negatively impact the Social Security fund. As it is now, the established medical practice is to keep people breathing—tho barely enough to support function—for as long as possible. Don’t worry though, the government will pay for it.

What do you think would happen if the mandatory age for SS were raised and a bonus were paid for people to keep working? In NYC they are paying parents for taking care of their children within the educational system. Maybe the government could start paying people to take care of themselves instead of continuing to support a system of negative rewards.

Taking Time for Thanksgiving Each Month.

What if instead of thinking of yourself as debtors, you were to think of all of those who loan you money as your creditors? What if you thought of the creditors as those you support you in achieving your dreams. They have expressed a belief in you and faith in your well intentioned life of purpose in service. Performing this slight of mind while breathing might not miraculously make the bills disappear. It will, however, make you feel better when you pay them.

The effect of your gratitude to the utility companies that make your life comfortable and other creditors that make it possible for your to get around can relax cells and trigger their renewal. To begin, take 5 Full Wave Breaths and re-read this section. Continue to breathe, easily and with increasing depth and breadth.

Repeat this breathing exercise before and after making monthly creditor payments, or any time in between. 

From Linda

My life is full of bounty,

My heart is full of love.

My breath dances with de"light,"

Every morning... and every night!

I play in the "illusion"----the reality I create

Every day I have the choice... and I choose to make it great

So, the "game" I play, I make the rules.

It's not from books, it's not from schools.

If it's not fun, I walk away,

‘Cause JOY’s the only game I play!

Linda Osga is the founder of  The Life Breath Institute—www.thelifebreathinstitute.com

“When they tape programs on PBS like those with Wayne Dyer, they always pan the audience and the look on so many faces is one of, "I want what he has"---"I want to feel like he is feeling".  His talks get people all enthusiastic about, as he worded it, "change".  Yet there is no addressing how to move energy.   How does one remember who they really are? For me, it did not come from reading the books and thinking positively.  The books did jog my memory a bit each time---however, I had not, up until the Full Wave Breath practice was part of my daily life, felt the connection to source OR fully connected to my divinity.”

On the Path of Relationship

From my view there are only two commandments:
1. Love Me with all of your heart, mind and soul;

2. Love others as Self.

We are taught to see difference. Learning to see oneness, the problems in relationships begin to disappear. If all is God, what is not Self?

BREATHE!

The Spiritual Dichotomy

You are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem. Yes, you are innocent, and you either teach joy and love or yes, you are part of the problem facing the world. Decide to radiate an uplifting energy and become a contributor to the health and well being of planetary life.

 Use Full Wave Breathing to expand your vitality. Make your intention to fill all of the cells in your body with Joy. Continue until you can imagine all of the organs, glands and cells smiling, singing and dancing inside. Repeat the exercise throughout the day. It takes less than a minute to feel better.

The Duh Factor

Two recent stories both involve bank robberies. In the first the holdup man left with several thousand dollars in cash. The problem was that he wrote his holdup note on the back of his own check.

In the second story, the robber was able to enter the bank posing as a job applicant. He too was able to leave without incident carrying several thousand in cash. He, however, left his resume in the bank.

Jon Benson (www.fitover40.com) reporting in Early To Rise mentions a  “study focusing on mind over body involved the effect of so-called "super-oxygenated water" on exercise performance. Eighty-four percent of the subjects given this super-water (which was actually tap water) ran considerably faster. Heart rate and perceived exertion increased as well. Merely believing that the water they were drinking was super-oxygenated altered the physiological states of the participants.”

Q & A

Q:  I find the Full Wave Breathing addictive. Can you overdose on It or do too much?

A: While feeling great is a good thing, make sure you aren’t neglecting the rest of your life. Recall that the motto of the ezine is Just Breathe! AND do the next thing. Can you overdo it? Only if you leave everything else undone. Your Full Wave Breathing is intended to be an empowerment for your life, not a substitute.

Q: I am an athlete--- I run and am very active. Why would I get dizzy with Full Wave Breathing when breathing deep during exercise does not have that effect?

A: They are different things. When you exercise you burn energy through the exercise. When you just breathe, you increase the amount of 02 to your brain and that causes the slight dizzy feeling. Your brain is merely adjusting to the increased oxygen. Continued practice will cause the symptom to disappear.

Q: The longer I have been breathing, I notice that my appetite is changing and I am not craving comfort foods the way I use to---in fact, my appetite is less. Why is this?

A; There is no simple answer; although this is a common effect of Full Wave Breathing. Perhaps you are “unwinding” old stressors that used to trigger the cravings—in addition to any metabolic changes.

Q: I am taking medications for anxiety. I understand that Full Wave Breathing helps ease anxiety. How does that work and will I be able to get off my medications?

A: This is another question the answer to which is highly involved. Mostly, people feel better and with the consent of their legally licensed medical care provider are able to decrease if not totally eliminate medications. Ask your doctor next time you visit and if you are feeling better, talk about a possible drug reduction schedule.

Worth Repeating

 WHY I AM NOT A INTERNET MARKETING SUPERSTAR: Part 4

 This month’s product is the long awaited Amazing Azure Ankle Amulet with GPS tracker for your children, dog or spouse.

INTRODUCING THE LATEST ADVANCE IN MIND BODY SCIENCE!

The Amazing Azure Ankle Amulet

More than just a device to help you keep your feet on the ground, put an end to feeling spacey and displaying beautiful adornment, The Amazing Azure Ankle Amulet helps you know where you are. Equipped with a GPS tracker, you’ll never again wonder where you are. Instead you will know (to within 5 feet). Package includes a 30 day trial subscription to OffStar Mobile with your choice of male or female voice to direct you to the nearest shop, restaurant or other destination of your choice.

Plus it is blue. As you know, the color blue is associated with spirituality. Imagine how much better it will make you feel, knowing this fact and actually wearing the color blue. One size fits all with this adjustable pure vinyl ankle strap. The Amulet itself, designed based on four hundred years of superstition and fear, protects you fully from werewolves, werecats and wererabbits. Rest easy when you were the Amazing Azure Ankle Amulet.

For Parents, here’s your chance to both protect your child from danger and know where they are 24/7. As an option, you can order the model with the built-in speaker phone so you can tune into your child’s conversations and interrupt them when necessary for your peace of mind. Plus you will cut down on unnecessary cell phone time. Optional drug sniffer and blood alcohol checker modules are also available.

For Pet Owners, here’s how to find out what you always wanted to know—where does he or she go. Never lose another pet. If Rover doesn’t come home, call OffStar Mobile and find him. Think of this as well, If you order the model with the built-in speakerphone, you can call him! The Amazing Azure Ankle Amulet is not recommended for cats because it weighs eight ounces and it annoys them mightily when you attempt to put it around their necks.

Everything is out to get you, and now there is a way out. Next time you feel threatened, simply crawl underneath the Shield of Saturn—comes in organic cotton in either full or queen size—and breathe until you get hold of yourself. The Tempters want you to think that the world is a dangerous place, unsafe at any speed and filled with dire consequence awaiting you around every corner. Don’t let them into your space; throw the Shield of Saturn over your head and breathe.

Order now and also receive—as a special bonus, at no additional cost--a Scarf of Saturn to keep in your pocket or purse. Then when you feel insecure, whip it out, cover your head, breathe and banish those fearful thoughts. Continued use may also prevent prescription drug hypnosis. Simply place it on your head during television commercials and breathe.

Keep breathing!

You are spirit experiencing the apparent evolution of human consciousness. Every day is a step along your spiritual path that leads to your Self.

EXERCISE CORNER:

Full Wave Breathing is a natural, drug-free, and dramatically effective way to experience health, joy and aliveness that mobilizes and supports your progression toward balance and wholeness. It is a method which accelerates and complements modern healthcare and treatment practices. Use it to inspire yourself so you can inspire others!

The Single Most Important Exercise is Full Wave Breathing 

There are 3 Steps, simple as A B C: Abdomen, Belly, and Chest. First, breathe into the lower abdomen and keep your focus there until you can comfortably fill and relax that area of the body. Use your muscles to expand your lower abdomen, beginning at the top or your pubic bone.

Second, after filling the abdomen (A) shift your focus to your entire belly (B) or midsection, stretching and distending your diaphragm and ribs as you inhale. Relax everything as you exhale. Use your muscles to push out the lower abdomen, then expand the area just above.

Third, filling A & B, shift your focus to your chest (C) and above. Having expanded the lower portions of the body, stretch up into the chest and back. Make all of your physical movements gentle and slow. All the movement to become very subtle and gentle as you alternately inhale and exhale without pause.

You may find it more comfortable to begin with distinct movements of your body. Allow the process to become like a dance of movement from bottom to top, top to bottom. Later, allow your body to remain completely relaxed as you visualize the movement of energy through you.

Repeat often for the most dramatic results. For more detailed instruction, read below:

Step One of Full Wave Breathing

Place one hand on the abdomen below the navel and the other on the chest. As you inhale, hold the chest still; allowing the abdomen to expand as if you is filling a balloon. Stretch and extend the lower belly. Relax completely into an inhale at the point where the abdomen is distended fully and the lungs are filled. After exhaling, inhale immediately. The chest does not move at all.

Close your eyes as you are breathing and then relax for a few minutes when you are done. Allow your breathing to normalize before continuing with your activities. You may perform this exercise while sitting at the computer, riding in the car, or even watching television. Start practicing this exercise today and you'll be pleased with your result!

To help you stay focused on your breathing, place a book or weighted bag on your lower abdomen when lying down and performing the exercise. If you are sitting, to keep your spine erect, imagine that a rope is attached to the middle of your head. The rope rises into the air. In your imagination, allow the rope to gently lift you up until your spine is erect. Sit straight, be open, and breathe.

Step Two of Full Wave Breathing

Continue breathing with no pause between inhales and exhale. Inhale and Relax...Inhale...and Relax.

Count 1 as you inhale and expand your lower abdomen in Step One. Count 2 as you lengthen your inhale and push out the middle of your torso at the solar plexus. Release tension and allow the body to exhale and repeat. Perform this exercise anytime to relax. Do not perform connected breathing when driving or operating machinery.

When lying down, place a pillow under your knees, not under your neck. When sitting, allow yourself to stretch and open your spine as you sit and breathe.

Close your eyes as you breathe and then relax for a few minutes when you are done. Allow your breathing to normalize and return to your tasks.

Step Three of Full Wave Breathing

Continue breathing with no pause between inhales and exhale. Inhale and relax...Inhale...and relax.

Count 1 as you inhale and push out your lower abdomen. Count 2 as you raise the breath and energetic focus to your solar plexus. Count 3 as you move your breath and muscular focus up into your chest, stretching your intercostal muscles, shoulders and back of the neck. Relax completely when you exhale, allowing the muscles to soften. There is no effort or tension involved in your exhale.

Close your eyes as you breathe and then relax for a few minutes when you are done. Allow your breathing to normalize before continuing with your activities. Perform this exercise anytime you are sitting passively to provide a quick and effective energy boost and relaxation.

Keep your spine straight if sitting and allow to your body to move as you breathe and relax. Feel the wave of inhale as air enters your body and the wave of exhale as it leaves. Increase the volume of air and pace of breathing and feel how it affects your experience.

Since resolving stress at the cellular level is below our awareness, there are times when the breathing is accompanied by laughing or crying as old chemistry breaks up. Simply keep breathing! Allow your body any movement that arises and remember to relax fully when you exhale, softening all your muscles. Continue breathing at your own pace, deeply and fully.
