“Breathe deeply until sweet air extinguishes the burn of fear in your lungs.” D. Antoinette Foy
Rather than just one foot in front of another, this is a time of one breath in front of another. Every breath is an opportunity to not only “take in what you need and let go of what you don’t need”, but also to breathe in the world and breathe out another, just as Indra dreamt the Universe in and out of existence.
Cicadas buzzing, birds chirping, winds swirling …nature’s presence amplified.
Never waiver in faith in the power of your thoughts and actions to affect the world. Outer energies make a loud noise, a disturbing amount of distraction to overcome. But they can be overridden by re-infusing the moment with good will, beauty, and faith. When worries beset you, resort to prayers that comfort and realign you.
“I can’t Breathe!”
Out breathing – Too much out-out-out = CO2
In-breathing – Too little in = too little oxygen.
Vagus Nerve = Breath as access to peaceful heart, lungs, viscera
Breath = Re-Spir-ation, re-Spiriting as necessary for life
Time to breathe- pause, respite, take in Spirit
“it was taken away in a breath”
“out of breath”
“under her breath”
“a breath of danger never touched her”
“in the same breath”
“take away one’s breath in astonishment”
“Save one’s breath” – avoid futile talk or gossip
Even now as much fear and grief rules Afghanistan and the pandemic continues like a roving storm or fire wherever the wind blows, hold fast to ever renewing life as you perceive it around you.
Breathe – Attending to health in all its manifestations to the best of your ability – breathe to the best of your ability – get stronger, kinder, as resilient as possible.
Greater forces than yourselves are directing this process of evolution which the planet earth and humanity are now undergoing. Trust Them and offer your support to the best of your ability by cultivating more spiritual and intuitive faculties particularly though group work.
On the material plane, be really “present”, in communion and in communication all the time.
Spend more time outdoors, move, and for as long as weather permits and even after, spend time with the elements who are not happy and who are furiously seeking balance despite humanity’s interference – your love comforts even the winds, the storms, the fires, the earth itself. Allow their inspiration to guide your way of serving the moment. All have their specific role – you also.
Living beyond the borders of our limited view of reality is something to be practiced, refined, expanded and shared. No effort is insignificant for many are called at this time.
Come again, come frequently, in fellowship and in solitude with open listening as We are here for you. And then, to each in their own way, follow through in action. And good will prevail.
Keep the eternal flame going. Be comforted, go in peace.
And Breathe.
Note: Having struggled on and off all this 2024 year so far with respiratory infections, I was guided to share this piece from August 2021 when we were coming out of the worst of the Covid Pandemic and when “I can’t breathe.” had become a motto for this troubled time. Guidance and impressions were received while meditating with Marcia Pollack once again in her Garden. (See Crystal Deva Guidance, November 2019 And coming soon, the last guidance with Marcia, “Light”)
