Light of Being

We have been practicing connecting with our Divine Self, breathing as the Divine Self, being the Divine Self. This episode brings all these together in the light of being, where we are our most open to the true nature of who we are. We find this light easily now, breathing and circulating this vitality throughout all the layers of our being. We use these precious moments of breath and peace to share our light with those we love, with our projects or anyone that need healing and light. We find the true nature and power of love as we witness the beingness of the Divine Self.

Welcome to Mariam's meditations. on behalf of all of us really, and wisdom that is our own wisdom. Because we are listening The breath is so precious is with us in every moment. Awake, asleep, laughing dancing, reading, cooking, loving breath. So while we are here and are just beginning, listen to your breath, and how it feels in this moment. Just taking stock for a moment. Many times when we first stop and listen to the breath, there is an urge to have a very big breath or to change the breath in some way. Perhaps that is because when we are very busy and moving about, our breath can get a little too rapid or unconscious. We don't have to be conscious of the breath in order for it to nourish the body and fuel all of ourselves but when we do pay attention to the breath, it responds. The breath is a living entity might be responds with life and vitality. And it says though the breath is very pleased that we have taken a moment to notice it is there. So while you're breathing, just notice it is there. The oxygen and all of the other gases all of the air flows into the nostrils cool and dry and out again warm and moist. And as we have spoken many times in the nostrils there are fleshy mounds called turbulence that spin the air as it flows in and out of the body. So it is not some straight line in and a straight line out. But this curving beautiful wave of air that is unique to you. Your breath pattern is your own. Writing along those waves of oxygen is Prana life vitality, also known as chi, or Qi. So as you're breathing now imagine that you can sense this life vitality flowing in. It is also known as the breath was Send the breath and surrender to this life vitality imagine as it flows in, it reaches every cell in your body flowing in and circulating. Even as your blood circulates throughout your body, it carries the oxygen throughout the body to nourish the tissues. And it also there are energy pathways that carry this prana throughout your physical being. So with each breath this prana is nourishing you whether you recognize it or not, but it does bring a more full response from the body when you are recognizing the breath. So exhale all of the air in your lungs right now. And we will all breathe in together breathe in. Pause and breathe out just to realize full complete exhalation.

This expanded beauty, vast, you're all knowing, consciousness of the Divine Self. And the Divine Self is aligned with the divine energy of all of creation. It is effortlessly shall.
