--Reflection of the month--

Breathwork is good an all, but...

The world is designed for overconsumption. Some people fall into the trap of chasing the next thing--- whatever the thing is--- people, places or things--- only to get tired of it and give it away, maybe even after months of it sitting on a shelf. Most of us can relate to buying into something (an item, an idea, a circumstance, apply it how it fits) and quickly realizing we made a mistake. We impulsively committed to a harmful external  process as we watch our life force energy being depleted. The undercurrent is a depravation of being overwhelmed in very real unmet needs.

 Rather than find ways to create more meaning, more emotional deficit and self neglect is created. Rather than finding and doing joy, we supress it with "stuff", ignore our true desires and cover it with fears of the unknown. We isolate, we cry ourselves to sleep and hide in the margins of society. We choose not to create and develop our own communities, support systems and often our connections with ourselves. We abandon ourselves to numb the pain. When we aren't doing that, we are again looking for something to give us purpose, meaning and value. As if there is some qualifier to life "One must have a purpose" to exist or simply be. The tides will turn once you do.

Reflection questions:

1. How have I let myself go? How can I reconnect with community or find one that resonates with me?  Can I embrace this might be slow and within context to the flow of my life. 

2. What are my unmet needs? Do I need help with these needs and what are the resources available to me, right now that I can use? 

3. How do I spend my days? How do I want to spend my days

4. Can I make the decision to show up for me regardless of if it looks like I am filling around in the dark for awhile? Goals? 

Breaking harmful cycles with ourselves isn't an intuitive process. Sometimes it takes knowledge, wisdom and a little dialing our energy back enough to make space for our intuition. Sometimes it takes finding the right Professional help. We want so much-- even singing at the top of mountains--- we want or that we are breaking generational curses but cannot stand to be alone with ourselves for longer than 5m in a dark room. We can no longer afford to believe a lie of generational curses. The issue is generational choices. A society, a collective, a consciousness that have repeatedly made detrimental even fatale choices for ourselves and others. the core deeply embedded in the soul, 

If we can stand to look long enough and deep enough, underneath the process of discovery. We can find we aren't our own enemy after all. We can find that we've been in a confused fogged, maybe even hypnotized to forget our true identity. The lessons in complex emotions, if we take the deeper inquiry rather than run, we might learn to reach ourselves at a soul level. Transcendence is a conscious choice, applied correctly has the ability to transform life as one knows it. Imagine, if we all stretched our arms as far as they could go on a daily basis, internally, could this cause a shift externally. I believe so.

 So when we find ourselves--our heads-- spinning around people, places and things, life... after the breathwork, can we see it warrants more than a pause but an inquiry?
