The world is your mirror.

The good you find in others, is in you too.

The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.

The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.

To blame and complain will only make matters worse.

Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.

What you see in others, shows you yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.

Give to others, and you give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.

Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.

Seek to understand, and you will be understood.

Listen, and your voice will be heard.

Teach, and you will learn.

10 Health Benefits of Conscious Breathwork

By Bob Sima

We all want to be healthy, vibrant, disease and pain free. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easy, free, and always available source to draw from to help us accomplish that? We watch what we eat; we exercise; we take supplements; we practice yoga. As obvious as it sounds, have you ever considered that one of the keys to optimal health is right under your nose? Who would have thought that controlling the breath (both consciously and intentionally) and breathing optimally could actually improve your health? The yogis of ancient India knew this. When we were young we were all told to take a deep breath when we got upset. Well, why did we stop at one? We innately know that it calms us down, but did you know that you could actually affect your entire autonomic nervous system with the practice of conscious breathwork?

I invite you to experience this for yourself. Try this practical exercise, while listening to the song “Breathe.”

Blow all of the air out of your lungs, pushing and squeezing it out with your stomach muscles. Go much farther than you think you can. Keep pushing, pushing, pushing. When you have nothing – and I mean nothing – left:

* Inhale deeply through your nose, expanding the belly first (not the chest area) for a count of 4

* Hold the breath at the top of the inhale for a 7-count

* Release the breath through your mouth, slowly controlling the exhale for an 8-count

Realize that as this becomes a practice over time, this top 10 list of health benefits will start to materialize:

10 Health Benefits of Conscious Breathwork

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 1 – Reduce Anxiety

Most of us are in constant, low-grade stress and we tend to breathe shallow and quickly. Deep and conscious breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which kicks off the natural relaxation response. This is the exact opposite of a stress response. Breathe slower, deeper, and more consciously to reduce anxiety.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 2 – Increase Clarity and FocusSlow, conscious breathing fully oxygenates the brain. Try three slow, deep, conscious breaths the next time you are about to make a big decision. Feel the clarity. Notice your ability to focus more intentionally on the subject at hand.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 3 – Elevate Mood

Ancient Shamanistic and Pranayama teachers in India reached altered states of consciousness through breathwork. Through a practice of noticing and, thus, controlling your breathing, you can create a consistent elevated mood with deep, slow, and conscious breaths throughout your day.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 4 – Feed Healthy Cells

Cancer can’t live… where? The 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Otto Warburg who discovered that cancer cells cannot thrive in a highly oxygenated environment. A preventative measure? Take deeper breaths.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 5 – Allow Your Skin to Breathe

The skin is in! Deep, slow, conscious breaths stimulate blood flow to the skin for a more radiant and natural glow.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 6 – Promote Digestion

A relaxed body supports proper organ function. We need healthy organ function to support our body’s unmanaged and systematic activities including digestion, elimination, and absorption.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 7 – Oxidative Stress

Deliberate breathing delivers more oxygen to your tissues. This increases the amount of oxygen in the body’s tissues and reduces the risk of hundreds of diseases.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 8 – Reduce Cravings

Deep, conscious breathing can avert the need for an outside substance. Next time you reach for the diet soda (or whatever your vice is!), take three conscious breaths and ask yourself if you really want the side effects from it. Feel the empowerment within yourself. Go from substances to substance.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 9 – Lower Blood Pressure

Long, slow, deep breaths fully oxygenate the heart muscle. This reduces heart rate and blood pressure.

Conscious Breathwork Benefit 10 – Sleep Sweetly

Deep, conscious breathing is known to stimulate the pineal gland, which is associated with sleep patterns. You may also notice more lucid dreaming.

No Comments on Reconnect with our “good nature”

In an African tribe, when someone does something wrong,

they take the person to the center of the village where the tribe surrounds him and for 2 days say all the good he has done.

The tribe believes each person is good but sometimes people make mistakes,

which are really a cry for help.

They unite to reconnect him with his good nature.

so we too can each day reconnect to our own good nature and remind ourselves that we are OK.

each day…

The 12 Laws Of Karma

1.- THE GREAT LAW –
“As you sow, so shall you reap”. This is also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect”.
Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us.
If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Love, Friendship…Then we should BE Happy, Peaceful, Loving and a True Friend.
2.- THE LAW OF CREATION –
Life doesn’t just HAPPEN, it requires our participation.
We are one with the Universe, both inside and out
Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.
BE yourself, and surround yourself with what you want to have present in your Life.
3.- THE LAW OF HUMILITY –
What you refuse to accept, will continue for you.
If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative,
then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.
4.- THE LAW OF GROWTH –
“Wherever you go, there you are”.
For us to GROW in Spirit, it is we who must change – and not the people, places or things around us.
The only given we have in our lives is OURSELVES
and that is the only factor we have control over.
When we change who and what we are within our heart
our life follows suit and changes too.
5.-THE LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY –
Whenever there is something wrong in my life,
there is something wrong in me.
We mirror what surrounds us – and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth.
We must take responsibility what is in our life.
6.-THE LAW OF CONNECTION –
Even if something we do seems inconsequential,
it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected.
Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on.
Someone must do the initial work to get a job done.
Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance,
As they were both needed to accomplish the task.
Past – Present – Future
They are all connected…
8.-THE LAW OF FOCUS – You can not think of two things at the same time.
When our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger.
THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY –
If you believe something to be true,
then sometime in your life
you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth.
Here is where we put what we CLAIM that we have learned,
into actual PRACTICE.
9.-THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW –
Looking backward to examine what was,
prevents us from being totally in the HERE AND NOW.
Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams…
Prevent us from having new ones.
10.- THE LAW OF CHANGE –
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.
11.- THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD – All Rewards require initial toil.
Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil.
True joy follows doing what we’re suppose to be doing, and waiting for the reward to come in on it’s own time.
12.- THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION –
You get back from something whatever YOU have put into it.
The true value of something is a direct result of
the energy and intent that is put into it.
Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole.
Lack luster contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do they work to diminish it.
Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the Whole.
