Breathe and Soul the connection

 

I came across an article by a Rabbi titled "The Hebrew word for "soul" will blow your mind" 

by Rabbi Simon Jacobson at Meaningful Life Center

The Rabbi said the word for Breathe and soul are linked. 

The Creative Source created life by blowing Breathe into the human form ... hence giving our physical body Spirit ... Life .., Energy ... the connection with the Divine.

makes a lot of sense

Blends well with quantum energy

Valentines Day Approaches

Valentines day is coming up. 

What is the magic sauce?

What is the great gift of Valentines day?

The great gift is not in the store 

or in the bakery.

It doesn’t have to be expensive

The great gift is being warm, being affectionate with the person that  you love.

Ask yourself … Do I want to build a team with this person?

Can I give my vulnerability to this person?

Can I allow my feelings to softly touch this person?

Can I receive the love and warmth of this person?

A pastry or a flower could be a simple sign of your love or your caring

Are you willing to give to that person?

Ah but wait … In order to give the magic sauce, 

you need to love yourself first.

You need to do some deep breaths. It is important to be comfortable in the silence, in the company of yourself.

You need to love yourself and be confident that you are valuable.

Enjoy the love of valentine day

To cancel or not to cancel ? that is the question

 A client and I were 35min into a session. The. Client started to laugh … “ya know I was thinking of canceling today’s session.  

Pause … 

Client continued “I am glad that I didn’t cancel … the feedback that you gave me is hinting at how I can solve some issues that I am working on.”

The issues had to do with personal  relationships and work challenges.

I feel good when I can use the talents that Source gave me to help someone with their life issues.

 According to Dr. Hawkins, we are the “I within the Eye”. We are one with the Creative Source. We are one with the important people in our lives. The grief the sorrow is for the physical loss of a person who is important to us. On a spirit level we are still connected.

Did we start our day with ourselves?

Did we take time to breathe? to connect with our essence?

Did we take the time to ask Source how we wanted our day to unfold?

Those few moments of silence - of being with ourselves can allow us to cope with life events.

May the Source of all bring comfort to the people who are grieving the loss. S

Reels ? v. Moments? .Eye of the I

 In an age of video, an age of reels 

Have we lost the art of silence?

Have we lost the art of seeing what is not visible?

Have we lost the beauty and the art of a single photograph

In therapy practice, many clients enjoy and employ the Technique of controlled breathing. 

They. Are able to manage 3 to 6 breaths.

They may use the breath several times during the course of a day. 

They find deep conscious breathing helps them. It relaxes them. It helps to center them. It helps them chose a course of action.

Then they stop

It is as if they are anxious about looking deeper

I took a photograph above. 

How many things do you see …objects, shades of color, etc.?

In the photo, do You see the beauty? Is The beauty in the shape, in the tone of the color, in the seeing discrete elements? Is the beauty separate from us, separate from Source? 

Are all the elements part of the “Eye of the I: from which nothing is hidden.”(title of Dr Hawkins book)? The I from which nothing is hidden replaces the concept of ego.

Dr Hawkins in his book deemphasizes the concept of the ego, and it’s cousins the id, the superego and superego ideal.

He indicates the beauty may be between the elements, between the colors. If not between the elements perhaps inclusive of the elements and the space between. He goes further, the beauty that we observe includes not only the space but us and the Source.

Powerful words, in the moment, in the experience. Powerful words to erase anxiety. Powerful words to understand how we fit in. Powerful words to reflect our connection with the unseen, the Spirit, the Source, the Eye of the I.

I highly recommend Dr Hawkins book, “the eye of the I: from which nothing is hidden.”

 Thoughts & Self

“ The mind … seems to be a nonstop talking machine 

with a constant barrage of endless thoughts…

The Buddha said that the true self is glimpsed in the space between thought…”
