Though in an etymological sense `to breathe` is nothing, but only a physiological process where air just moves in and out of our body through the nostrils and we feel relaxed and satisfied, bringing that effectiveness in our body, but actually it`s something more than that; some integral force that is essential not only for our sustenance or living but also for our life itself in a true sense. Apparently, it`s absolutely a normal physiological process through which we all undergo in a spontaneous way, remaining unknown of the fact that breathing is nothing, but very much associated with the truth of our aliveness. Yes! Here in lies the magic or the efficacy to feel the essence of your being, essence of your entity!
And the moment you start to feel that grace within, quite automatically you start to perceive that this breathing is nothing, but actually a gateway to lead your consciousness towards a deeper dimension, to perceive that inner space within your entity. And this conscious breathing not only helps you to be with your presence, but also enables you to transform yourself with that higher truth of your soul itself. And on that very moment quite automatically you may start to feel that this breathing is not only close to your mundane body, but also aligned to the grace of that highest truth from where you came into this existence; that magical presence of your inner self that is nothing but the insubstantial, divine part of your being, that inevitable life force, continually strengthening your existence with the help of that universal divine intelligence, since eternity.
So, this conscious breathing not only helps you to recognize that inner space within your entity, but also serves as a mediatory force between your conscious and unconscious self, reminding you of that highest truth of your life; the truth that you`re alive with all your presence, with all your grace within!
Let`s breathe and explore that inner space you`ve within:
“It was neither a trance like state,
Nor an oblivion where I lost myself…
But a journey indeed, I felt;
A journey to feel my presence;
A translation to feel that inner grace!”
It was absolutely one of my personal experiences that quite spontaneously came into this poetic fruition. It was not only a poem indeed, but a self- reflective journey through which we all undergo, but never care to feel that bliss inside. Yes! This poem was only a slice of that blissful journey that I felt on that special moment when I was breathing consciously. On that moment I also perceived that I`m not only alive with my very presence, but also very much aligned to the truth of that higher grace that is always leading our energy towards that higher dimension of everlasting bliss where our own spirit is already connected to that divine source of intelligence from which we all have come into this existence.
On that very moment I was neither conscious, nor even unconscious. But very much alert, very much on that present moment with all my presence, with all my aliveness. Here I`m not discussing about the mundane existence that all we`ve. But here in this blog, I`m trying to navigate into the deeper core of our existence that is subtly connected to this breathing experience.
In this connection, I would like to remind you that breathing is neither an act that we all do, nor a form or material that we can see or touch. Instead, it`s something that happens in a spontaneous, independent way and we can only feel or experience it as a mere experiencer or a perceiver. It cannot be defined in a traditional way, where in actually lies the true meaning of our existence or what has been its connection to this source of breathing? But one thing has to be admitted that we all have a deeper existence beyond this mundane one and this breathing is nothing, but only a mediatory force to discover that inner space in a deeper way, transporting our consciousness towards that higher dimension of eternity and enabling us to feel your presence in an uninterrupted spontaneous way.
As being aware of your presence, being aware that you`re alive with all your hidden grace inside is nothing, but the ideal way to get back to your center, within. And that is why in order to recognize that inner space, you need to be grounded once again. Once again you need to be aligned to the divine source of universal intelligence; the center of your origin from where you came.
In order to be centered to your being and to feel that you`re alive, you need to recognize that insubstantial inner space within your entity. That inner space doesn`t have any form or appearance in a tangible sense, but it is that consciousness itself that may enable you to feel that you`re alive inside; that blissful aliveness where your entity is closely aligned to the divine source of universal intelligence. And on that very moment quite unknowingly of yourself you may perceive that you`re beyond your mundane body or your human existence, but you`re very much present within yourself. You`re very much aligned with your inner essence, with the stillness you`ve within, since eternity. The more you get connected to that stillness inside, the more you get aligned to the truth of that higher dimension within your own entity that is ageless, timeless and formless. And the moment you get aligned to that stillness, within quite automatically you may start to feel that your consciousness is leading you towards a higher dimension beyond this mundane form of earthly existence. And there you`ve nothing but only that consciousness; blissful and eternal. Here in lies the efficacy of breathing and herein lies its magic to lead your consciousness towards the recognition of that inner space where we all are internally aligned with the essence of our presence, since eternity.
You`re not lost but you`re with your very presence:
On a very first place you may feel that you`re losing yourself. But actually you`re not losing yourself, but gradually getting aligned to the universal source of divine intelligence and your entity is getting merged with that very aliveness that is the intrinsic part of your being. The more you start to breathe, the more you may get aligned to the divine within your entity and quite automatically all the gaps and inconsistencies start to fade away just with a blink of an eye. And quite unknowingly of yourself, you may discover that you`re getting awakened to the truth of your being!
And once you get awakened to the truth of that higher grace, throbbing within your entity, an enlightenment will not only come to embrace you, but at the same time you will get introduced to the truth of your very presence. And the moment you get awakened to the truth of your very presence, quite unknowingly of yourself you`ll be in alignment with your true purpose; the purpose that is very much connected to your being, to your very presence; the consciousness that is ageless and eternal!
And trust me, here in lies the grace of your presence; the grace of your inner space, the grace of that true alignment with that divine essence that is already aligned with your entity in an inconspicuous but magical way.
Let`s breathe and feel your eternal grace, within yourself:
In this contemporaneous world where all the time we`re suffering from anxiety, stress and disorder, this breathing not only helps our body to be relieved, but also helps our mind and heart to release all those stresses, leading our consciousness to that higher dimension from where life may not seem to us as a fruitless survival, lingering on some gibberish and futility. Rather, it may appear as a blessing itself, as something very much aligned to our very presence, the true aliveness of our being.
The deeper dimension of your being can only be perceived when you get aligned to that center within your entity. Breathing does nothing, but only helps you to get back to that center, once again, enabling your inner seed to flourish in a newer way with that highest truth of aliveness itself. And here in lies the depth of your existence; the depth of your being.
Yes! Herein lies the mystery of life itself; the mystery of our soul and her eternal connection to the universal power of divine intelligence. During the period of that conscious breathing, our souls are not only open to that highest dimension, but also very much aligned to the highest truth of our existence, to the highest truth of that universal intelligence from where we all came into this earthly existence.
If you just close your eyes and allow your breathe to flow in a spontaneous way, quite automatically you may start to experience your very presence! It`s an exploration indeed! A self- reflection to recognize that inner space. A gateway to find a balance between your mundane and divine self. In that sense, this breathing acts as a stimulus not only to heal you from all those stresses and anxieties, you`re suffering from in your waking life but also enlivens your soul to the highest truth of your presence, transcending your consciousness to the grace of that Infinite. And only then quite miraculously you may start to feel that all the doors of perceptions are cleansed enough and your entity is getting more and more aligned to the highest truth of your existence.
And that highest truth of existence is nothing, but the consciousness itself; ageless and eternal, the consciousness that is divinely guided and the supreme principle behind everything. It doesn`t have any form or matter, doesn`t have that birth and death in a tangible sense. It had been since the eternal time of your existence and will be forever even after the death of your mundane body. And it is exactly this awakening that breathing helps you to experience, helps you to perceive of who you`re in a real sense, beyond your ego, beyond your mundane form and identity; your divine essence and its eternal connection to the universal truth of divine intelligence.
