Breath & Rebirthing

To rebirth yourself anew, breathe circular and rhythmic. It does not matter whether slow or fast. What matters is the exhale being in harmony with the inhale. Meaning duration of exhale equal duration of inhale. Breathe for 45 min (my personal recommendation). Invite someone to hold the space for you. Being witnessed while you are rebirthing yourself has its magic as the healing expands to the one witnessing while the witnesser activates the one breathing even more: Win-win situation. Some peole of rebirthing community talk about contamination from the one breathing to the witnesser. I am not of their view: Whatever gets activated in the witnesser is a blessing in disguise. The only issue is not to overburden yourself as witnesser. I do not recommend witnessing more than one rebirthing per day as the witnesser much like who is breathing, has to integrate the experience before moving on.

When you are breathing circular and rhythmic your brain waves get to a similar status like hypnosis. Therefore, repeating affirmations while rebirthing is so powerful. It is about reprogramming your mind when its capacity to integrate the change, is optimized.

Sondra Ray who is a pioneer in rebirthing (she was the disciple of Leonard Orr, founder of rebirthing, then created her own way with 'liberation breathing' as she likes to name her style of breathing), uses an interview of 12 steps before rebirthing, like a review of life. It activates the observer within. I highly recommend her Iceland Quest and Bali Quest (workshops in breathing done in those extra special places of high vibration). Yet, kindly note, the one who rebirthes you is yourself.

Personal Update

I am now in Bali. I am enrolled in a breathing workshop. I will be updating my poetry stream in the second part of December. For now, I will share with you, my dear reader, certain notes about breath and spirituality.

Conscious breathing is your physical access to Oneness or Unity Consciousness or All that is.

Catching up on what I wrote during the second week of September:

blooming on bare branch
couple of birds
like fall, I own a scented song
getting stronger
in the wind of memories

for her birthday
she plants rainbows

Storytelling

She closes her eyelids to taste light on her skin from within her soul. Then, the breeze rushes the surge of her delight. Her heart sways a beat by the river of life. He picks it up on the other side: A beaming star.

Storytelling

I was eighteen
my father died
I lost track of his scent
yet my memories with him
own this jasmine breeze
how can a blurred mind
evoke so much emotions
always the full moon
when I look for his face
to kiss him goodnight

haiku

sunlit stars
through my fingertips
the sound of I am

how love unveils and foresees

the stories we are
the stories we go beyond
to be whom we really are

emerald meadow
laying on tummy
for sky to be my spine
line of ants carries our breath
to the wild flower for shivers

homeward sway
from star to star
midnight breeze
on white linen naked
the depth of longing
an infinite sky
I am here with you as you

incantation of predawn

his caresses
the shape of breeze
on water

carrying the sky
to another dimension of now
flock of birds

caressing the soul in light waves
this sunset breeze of all is well
I turn to the unified nothingness
a deeper breath then
I create to play

petal by petal
back to wholeness healing
retrieving soul fragments
~
fragment of her soul
there, on his rocking chair
where father shot himself
~
to release a story
without stumbling on words
sharing tears in silence
~
unfurling her hair
sunward
the way of wind
he sips morning dews
off swollen petals
the rose fragrance
to flutter mid soul

the way lovers palms
play wind mid breeze

owl in sitting asana

so far from myself

birds sing early morning light
house of beauty

in the depth of predawn silence
the clear voice of her heart
humming in love with all that is
she takes a deeper breath
to be the secret mantra
~
full moon rising
to howl all bits of longing
the wolf in me
~
in her cupped hand
a home full of jasmine breeze
grandma
where the child in me
hides treasures, dreams & kisses

green grass blade
at the far tip of its curving
a dew lingers
heavy with birdsongs
shape of early morning breeze

chill from open window
the full moon inhales my exhale
depth of longing

a constellation of you
dandelion seed

I liberate a whole constellation
for the manifestation of you

no man's land crossed
a hiker finds himself
~
morning light
caressing my face
the thought of you

to blossom
I lift you to my lips
in shivers of dews
~
picking cherries
mouth to mouth
~
risqué scent in mystic hue
showering lover's buzz
lavender field, me
~
breeze on pond
rippling my smile
absence and essence, yours
~
eye in desert under night sky
multi universes conversing
emptiness underlined in stars
switching places to notice
wholeness in my emptiness

exploding in stars
the way of cold raindrops
to merge with geothermal water
the witnesser in me
soaking in christ consciousness

the way her silk gown flutters
slow and deep breathing
bee in and out of its hive
he ventures to seed then nuture

flirting with inner sky
the way her silk gown flutters
to create butterflies

To allow yourself to live in the moment, stop judging life. Accept it as it is, then, follow your bliss in every step you take. There is always a bliss for the eyes tuned to it. By following your bliss, whatever it may be at a given moment, you empower your energy to flow with ease and grace.

Note

How much do we experience what is, through outside circumstances and feedback?! Trusting our stories of sunset endings and sunrise beginnings, falling into hectic loops of emotional and mental rides.

What if, we make a leap to be the Sun. Feeling our inner strength while being conscious about our solar flares impact on others. Knowing Self as eternal source of light irrespective whatever.

Note on Garden of Forgiveness

Ending 3 days “Healing Wounds of History” workshop, June 12, 2016, all attendees with gracious hosts went to visit Garden of Forgiveness, a gem project based on Alexandra Asseily vision, situated between 3 mosques, 3 cathedrals and 3 thousands years of archeology at the heart of Down Town, Beirut. 

At the end of our visit, which was quite emotional for me, feeling the outer space in every cell of my body, Alexandra Asseily asked me as psychic what do I foresee for the Garden. I replied “Instead of being a center that links (her initial vision), it became an island (bit isolated and unaccessible yet preserved from above). People have to build bridges to access it.”

Visionaries like Alexandra do manifest gold for all to benefit from but it is for group consciousness to reach out for it and its blessings.

That evening when I reached home, an explosion went off near by. 

I asked myself what kind of bridges each one of us has to build to access his or her Garden of Forgiveness, breaking the cycle of violence. The Garden is always there, within, preserved from above. Yet we have to allow ourselves to access it. I found myself answering: “Through raising awareness, Garden of Forgiveness is accessible, wherever it is.”

Love breeds even more gorgeous love.
Hate breeds even more ferocious hate.
It is not Revolution that we seek but rather Evolution.

May we raise our awareness to be blessed accessing our Garden of Forgiveness.

May we claim back our wise hearts to thrive in peace and harmony.

Much love and appreciation to Alexandra Asseily.

(written June 12th)

Note on HWH

Quite an interesting first day out of three, attending Healing Wounds of History. It is based on experiential learning. So the 'game' was to channel 3 persons / energies then my higher self on a personal issue.

My question / issue: "Where is home?" (which country to live in)

My grandmother Asma answered: "Your home is not made of stones. Your home is your inner strength. Tap into it to feel home anywhere and everywhere. Your inner strength anchors a lot of wisdom, child. I gift you my white shawl, put it over your head whenever you are tired to feel my presence next to you."

Jesus answered: "The light is you. You radiate light. Light is your home. Feel that connection. It does not matter on which road you walk. Vibrate your light everywhere. No one can deprive you from your light. Light upon light."

Home planet Sion collective consciousness: "You carry us within you. We are your home planet. Always connect to us through the violet flame. Remember to activate this connection. You went to Earth for a mission. You are executing it, just relax while doing it. Relaxing into your mission empowers you to execute it even better. You are always welcomed among us. We feel you. We thank you for allowing us to work through you. Know, while you are in physical body on Earth, your spirit walks on Sion. We ask you to anchor more of your spirit within your body so you can feel more of Sion through your body, thus feel more of home."

Then,

Higher Self answered: "Do not buy into the illusion of rejection. Choose consciously to drop rejection. It feels home wherever self love is. It is your answer. Through self love you welcome yourself into this world to accomplish your mission."

Tonight, loving myself even more, and feeling at home. Loving all that is. Feeling loved too, abundantly.

Note

Play with me and consider the possibility that your problems are just your chosen way to entertain yourself in order to distract your attention away from the naked truth. Assume all your problems are solved by a magic wand, what remains and is so obvious, is your naked truth. Address that. Not your problems.

Remind yourself a leafless tree wears a cluster of clouds.

Note

Don't trust your self criticism. Opt for observing self instead of judging self. Observing is the way to heighten your awareness on the path of self refinement. All self punishment that is in tandem of self criticism, is counter effective. Moreover, self criticism, by itself, freezes thus limits your understanding of what is.

Everything-everyone, including you, is a free flow. By observing you allow your understanding to change, empowering yourself to be all inclusive.

poem

the way some are
unseen but deeply felt
spreading cosmic love in whispers
walking the unbeaten path
light in hand
soaring at sleepless nights to home planets
drunken with longing
restarting the dwelling with morning birdsongs
tired but excited
leaving breadcrumbs of creativity behind
for somebody to notice in the breeze
warmth of breath with tinge of musk
breaking the silence with depth of gazes
unveiling cryptic souls in total simplicity
there and not there
here and everywhere
unseen but deeply felt
the way some are



have you read about their life lines
are you reading their life lines
have you noticed the breeze



the way some are

... then she realized, writing haiku does not make her chat-prone.

Note on Nuances

Claim your responsibility and not your guilt. Guilt is garbage material since it paves the way for self punishment, totally unnecessary for the soul's expansion. On the other hand, claiming responsibility empowers you to be the conscious author of your life, intending and executing change of course whenever it is beneficial.

Being aware of nuances leads to self refinement.

Note on Healing

Healing yourself from family trauma(s) / family curse(s), means altering your own DNA affecting your family lineage consciousness irrespective linear time. Are you able to imagine how powerful you are!

Healing is activating the Divine within.

isolation
eye opening home
mountain top boarding school

to decipher
subconscious lexicon




(Explanation: I opened my eyes in a mountain top boarding school, extremely isolated. I searched all my life for home yet never realizing I was 'home' until I deciphered that the subconscious of the three years old girl defined home as isolation. In the hope of breaking this life long pattern.)

storytelling

to kiss him
with coquetry of breeze
wild as storming sky
she exhibits all seasons
in one mood of love
uniquely hers

haiku

storytelling (riddle)

mantra ushering dawn at 1008
where infinity contracts back to one

Note

All perspectives are equally valid since parallel universes are limitless.

The question is which one are you going to opt for.

 Hint: Choose a universe (hence a perspective) that contributes to your self empowerment.

You break free from self judgement when you stop judging the experiences that shape you. Only then, you realize you are beyond shapes. And the sound of you lies within your divine essence.

To transcend karma, claim back your authenticity by clearing misbeliefs on conscious, subconscious and soul levels.
This type of clearing empowers you to anchor more of your own divine spirit within your physical body.

Unconditional love never judges nor divides; it rather clears distortion.

Quote of mine

Pure Source is pre/post 'heaven and hell'. I am is the connection to Pure Source. Therefore, I am pre/post 'heaven and hell'.

I am the weightlessness attached to the depth of sound. Aum.

Quote of mine

Manifest your heaven by anchoring more of your divine spirit within your physical body. Heaven is tailor made and accessible 24/24.

Healers Note

We have to forgive in order to love and love in order to celebrate.
So let us:

+ forgive all including self
+ love all including self
+ celebrate all as Self

Celebration is the color of thriving.

haiku

his name swirls

morphing into open ended affirmation

Since open ended question form is the most powerful vehicle of affirmation, I morph the last post into:

How to receive, even better, everything as a blessing or blessing in disguise

How to be, even stronger, in my knowing that awareness is my security

Quote of mine

I receive everything as blessing or blessing in disguise. Awareness is my security.

Metaphysics Note

I am knowing. Love is true nature. While Fear is not a feeling, rather a limiting misbelief. Expansiveness sprouts from harmonizing contradictions. I allow Love to invite Fear, saying, face to face: I love you, thank you for taught lessons and now you may go and relax. I am in command. The way of infinity.

Reflective Qs

Why to opt for sarcasm when the other option is shared joy? How distorted is the belief that fading others joy means fading your own sadness?

storytelling

Metaphysics Note

You instantly transform a challenge into sacred ground once you are in allowance to receive its revelation.

micropoetry
