I once had a women in one of my meditation classes who said that when she was giving birth she was frustrated with how little the breathing she learned was helping. So she made a decision to hold her breath on the next contraction to see if it was better. She quickly found out that it only served to make the pain worse, so she returned to breathing through her contractions.
I had an aha with this experience that she shared and realized this really does apply to life - everyday we are giving birth to new experiences and opportunities. It is natural to want to freeze up when we don't know what the outcome is going to be. What we need to practice more of is having a little faith that the universe is taking care of us. Going into uncharted territory can be so rewarding and we need to let go of the fear of making mistakes or failing. This fear of making a mistake or failing is an illusion as there is no such thing. All there is - is learning. We learn what we like, what we don't and what we want more of in our experience through this process, which is called life!
So take some time right now and think about something recent that has you locked up in your life. While you think about all of the different outcomes and fears that go with it, try breathing in through your nose and out through you mouth. As you focus on the fear and breathe, you release the energy from your being.
Let it all go and know that where your mind goes it draws more of it to you. Let go of those illusions of fear and worst case scenarios breathe them out so that you can refocus on where you really want your life to go!
You are awesome, thanks for taking the time to breathe. You have made the world a better place by bettering yourself!
Much gratitude to you...
