Last night, I was feeling
stressed out, so I picked up one of my old books- Tuning Into Higher
Frequencies. I randomly turned to a page and read about the importance
of deep, rythmic breathing- how there is "prana" (life force) in the
air that surrounds us and with every breath we take, we are being given
the chance to allow more (or less) of it in. (When I am most stressed
out, I am a shallow breather and have even gone into asthma attacks!
This info made me sit up and pay attention!) Prana is full of
life affirming and healing energy. It fills the body with light and a
higher vibration that is resistant to negative emotions & disease.
I came across a breathing excercise and it really works! Here it is-
Breathe in and silently count 1.2.3.4.5.6. Hold it for 1.2.3. Breathe
out 1.2.3.4.5.6. Hold it for 1.2.3. then repeat over and over again. I
fell asleep while doing the excercise and had peaceful dreams. I feel
energized and positive this morning- which is amazing, considering all
of the craziness of the last few days! ;-)
On the schedule for today- try
my best to get into The Christmas Spirit. Do another load of shipping.
Shop for some yummy food. Paint & Breathe Deep! Take care and I
hope you all are enjoying your Holidays!
