How to Breathe with a mask on the soul..

The failure to recognise and embody your Magnificent Wholeness leaves you Gasping for breath even in an environment of abundance even when you know how to breathe.

 

Although it is a necessity and although I don’t hate many aspects of this blissful life. But I hate wearing a mask as it hampers my direct and natural interaction with the surroundings. Your breath is the most intimate you can get with the world around you, that’s why most spiritual practices focus on how to breathe efficiently.

How to Breathe through a soul mask? 

The pandemic is a great exhibit of how limiting a mask is when clean, fresh air is all around you, of not breathing wholly even when you know how to breathe (autonomously).

 

It is a reference to going through a prosperous life wearing a mask of fear, not living wholly even after knowing how to live.

This invisible mask everyone wears is either deflated fear conditioned lack, inadequacy, or inflated self importance and entitlement.

Experiencing, Engaging and Exchanging with reality through this mask of limiting beliefs is detrimental for the respiration of your soul. The soul which at the begining was clearly aware on how to breathe on its own.

Self unworthiness and self doubt, are major consequences when your soul is not allowed it’s full exposure to life. When the mask of a limiting mind hampers every moment you are inefficient in all your interactions with life.

How to Breathe with a mask on in the physical sense?

Please keep the mask on in public places. Avoid public places to stay unmasked for longer.

Even when you can’t avoid wearing masks, make sure you take breaks from public eye, go to an isolated place and do some deep breathing without a mask for 2-3 mins.

Spend some time just as you wake up and before going to sleep to Intentionally practice deep breathing. This will be beautiful for respiratory function and also balance Life Force(Qi, Prana).

How to Breathe with a soul mask- the unmasking of the spirit?

These are picked up from a beautiful book and will provide excellent explorations of your mask of conditioned lack inadequacy.

Just shining the light of your attention on these will answer your question of how to breathe with a soul mask and make you connect to your highest spirit beyond the limitations of a separate identity.

1. Know in your heart of hearts that you lack nothing. Any story about being wounded, broken, or not good enough is simply not true. As these stories arise, stop engaging with them. Keep returning to presence, over and over.

2. Reflect on the ways you behave that don’t serve you. Can you see how these patterns are driven by a sense of lack? Take away the content of the story, and feel the sensations in your body, just as they appear. Let them come out of hiding! Meet them with the deepest acceptance.

3. Recognize that you’re aware, and stand squarely as awareness.

Is awareness bothered by any story?

When you stand as awareness, is anything lacking?

This is who you really are.

4. When you feel hurt, insulted, or rejected, challenge the story that grips you. Know that it doesn’t actually define who you are. Lose interest in the story, and directly experience what remains. Be present as the timeless now for whatever arises.

The physical mask is a big revelation as it helps understand how I have been loving with a metaphysical mask all my life. A mask which limits me from fulfilling my potential and makes me inefficient.

I am sure knowing how to breathe physically and metaphysically will help you as much as it has helped me.

 

 

 

 

Breathing yourself to bliss

We often take for granted what is most essential. The daily struggle makes you ignore so many minor things which work automatically to support your life. None more important than breathing.

Your negligence of vital aspects of living is emphasized by how you never notice yourself breathing.  You never realize the importance of breathing till you are gasping for breathe. If only you could pay heed to this easily ignored process, you would be blessed with eternal bliss.

The little things matter

The most prominent feature of an ungrateful life is exhibited by a person’s inability to be mindful of their breathing. When you can ignore this necessary activity and leave it on auto pilot, imagine how many other things vital aspects of life you fail to realize and appreciate.

If you make a list of the most essential and natural processes in life, breathing tops the list. You have been breathing since you were here and will breathe till the end of time. But deluded with the pace of life you never acknowledge how the magical process works.

You never allow yourselves to focus on how you inhale, feel the gentle air touch the inner side of your nose nd travel through the back of your throat towards your lungs. How it helps oxygenate blood which nourishes your body in split seconds and how you exhale the unwanted part of it through the same channel.

Imagine if you could slow life down from its frantic pace, even for a few seconds, and witness yourself breathing. Wouldn’t it be a much needed break from the daily struggles of life to give the due importance to this essential facet of life. The underlying benefits of watching yourself breathe include isolating yourself from man made worries and stresses and viewing the world in its most natural form.

Smoking is nothing but glamorized breathing

For some strange reason I have always been jealous of people who smoke. They manage to do the most stressful things and shake of the burdens in their mind by just a couple of drags. After understanding the concept of breathing I could explain to myself how the stupid art of lighting a piece of paper filled with tobacco and sucking on it and releasing smoke extinguishes stress.

Smoking is nothing but glamorized breathing. What a smoker does is nothing but focus on his breathe for the few mins he smokes for. The theatricality of smoke adds to the experience of inhaling and exhaling.  Paying attention to this most natural process, even by harming the lungs, alters the smokers perception by making him realize how he should celebrate the little things rather than give in to man made stresses. For a while the smoker feels completely free, actually he takes an indirect root to breathing.

Breathe yourself to Bliss

Breathing not only puts things into perspective but gives you time to rejuvenate and refresh. All of us are living in a world full of speed. Thoughts race at a relentless pace. Every microsecond your mind is dumped with a million bytes of information, from all your senses. Add to this the digital apocalypse and like it or not the dose of data increases. All these little bytes are thought initiators in the super computer called your brain. Your brain picks information and goes on an endless journey of analyzing and connecting it. The process is endless.

But witnessing yourself breathe helps you pause this process for a while.  When you sit still and focus on your breathe a billion things will come to your mind initially. But with a little bit of patience you will learn how to let go of the conditioned habit of over thinking. Most meditation techniques and psychotherapies along with religious healing processes are directly or indirectly related to being mindful of ones breathing process.

Learn how to witness your breathe and you will empower yourself with a clarity which will make you stand out from the chaos.

Have a good day.
