Hi Everyone,

Tensions are running high and emotions are no longer stuff-able. They're coming up and out as the greater waves of love are starting to flow through human hearts. Covid and quarantine seeded a desire in humanity for greater connection – for being #InItTogether – and as a result, everything in human hearts that has blocked true connection is coming up for healing. It isn't pretty, but then again the systemic problems and troubled emotions that have been pushed under the rug or bottled up inside of us weren't pretty to begin with. We're being forced to see ourselves, and to be with ourselves – the good, the bad, and the ugly as the saying goes, both as individuals and as a society.

Where do we even start when uncomfortable or upsetting feelings arise? I was giving one of my gaze talks last Sunday when the angels got in my head and reminded us that we start with a simple breath. Covid-19 tried to rob us of our breath. George Floyd's killer tried to snuff out his spirit by robbing him of breath. But neither – although they did rob the body of physical breath – could steal the Spirit of life and love that lives and breathes in all souls, both in heaven and on earth.

"Breathe," the angels remind me often. "Breathe." Such a simple thing is a profound gift and a tool we were given for shifting consciousness into a higher space.

I been doing a lot of deep breathing with the angels lately. I breathe when I feel the world's upsets, and in just minutes the peace of the angels and the Divine flows into my being.

I do Wim Hof Breathing to alkalize and energize my body in the mornings and to go into spaces of inner peace.

I breathe when people attack me due to their own misunderstandings and projections and the breath carries in with it an understanding of their perspective and pain so I can remain loving, even when the hatred hurts.

I breathe as a gift to shift the energy of the space around me, taking the world in and exhaling only love and statements of truth.

I know we all have different perspectives. One of mine is that George Floyd's final words, "I can't breathe" were a chilling reminder to us that we can, and we should never take this gift of breath for granted.

The world will evolve into a kinder place. We can all find our parts in this birthing simply by dropping into our hearts, and asking the Divine to show us the way. But first... just breathe.

Here are a few pointers for using breath as a tool for consciousness....

1. Breathe in the World. Add love. Exhale.

The air we breathe in comes from nature, from your friends and the people you don't like, from the sick, the healthy, the loving and the hateful. Like it or not, with each regular breath, we breathe in the vibrations of all life. We can consciously intend to take in one vibration or another, but for when we don't, we take it all in. This is how it was intended to be.

The breathe mixes inside of us with our own vibrations and then as we exhale we gift the world with our own particular energy. Why not exhale love?

Imagine as you breathe in, you are breathing in rainbows of color and a vast array of patterns of energy. Imagine this going into your heart and mixing with pure light and love. As you exhale imagine exhaling your own personal colors – your own frequencies of beautiful light and love, that uniquely express your being, are traveling out into the universe.

Breathe in all of life. Mix it with love in the heart. Breathe out love. Breathe in all vibrations. Mix them with love. Breathe out. Do this a few times when you think of it. It feels wonderful.

2. Breathe to relax

This type of breath biologically vibrates the vagus nerve which runs along the back of the neck and tells the whole body to chill out - to rest and digest and get out of the incessant stress-based fight/flight mode that is so easily triggered these days.

Breathe in normally. Breathe out much more slowly exhaling as if you were a balloon slowly deflating, or as if you were breathing out slowly in a steady stream. Do this for a few minutes until you feel your stomach soften, you heart rate slow, and your entire body relax.

3. Sit. Breathe. Receive.

You've heard this from the angels and me a gazillions times because it is simple, and it works. When you feel upset, tired, off-kilter, sad, in need of comfort, in need of guidance, or in need of any assistance at all, you have angels that are willing to help you.

Breathing with intent allows them to ride into your energy field, to make adjustments in your aura, and to help tune your field so you can attract what you want, be soothed, calmed, healed, and helped.

Best of all it is "brain-dead easy." Ask your angels for help. Intend to receive. Sit in silence or put on a good song, and breathe. That's it. If you do this regularly, you will eventually feel an expanded or floating sensation, very much like a quick meditation. You will become more clear-headed and able to see through different perspectives in your life. You'll get your guidance more easily throughout the day. Your manifestations will come more quickly. It is so simple yet so powerful.

There are serious problems in the world that are coming to the surface to be healed, and it is tempting to jump into action, but the angels remind me always, before we do, breathe. Get centered in love. Then from that place of peace, calm, and higher consciousness, you will more easily be able to discern inspired and guided action, given to you by the very Creator whose spirit flows through us with every breath.

Love you all!
