Breathwork helps you to relax and de-stress, it can iron out the nervous tension and worry of the daily grind and busy modern lives. It can help you to bring lasting peace, calm and clarity to troubled, often frantic busy lives. It will help you in re-establishing your true direction to achieve your fullest potential.
Gunnel continues her course about the healing potential of breathwork by looking at the function, importance and relationship between the two halves of the brain and then explaining the importance of this for the breathworker and the implications it has for breathwork clients.
Grand Trine in Water Signs
A beautiful Grand Trine in Water dominates the chart for the day. With Ceres, Sun and Mercry all within the strongest degrees (11°-18°) of Scorpio – (Sun passing through these degrees is what makes Samhain powerful).
The presence of Ceres and Mercury here will enable people to become aware (Mercury) of what they truly need to nurture them at the deepest emotional / soul level at this time.
The Moon in Cancer brings personal emotional needs
to the forefront, and Uranus and Juno in Pisces enables us to align
these needs with waking up to our soul’s purpose, and how we may
align our emotional needs with the needs of others. If we are truly
understanding our needs, rather than our ego’s “wants”, then
what will be right for us will also be right for others. The key is
not to remain stuck in old emotional comfort zones, believing that
they are what we need. If we do this, it will take us away from our
spiritual purpose (Moon opposing North Node).

Stay in the desert “Why do you live in the desert?”
“Because I can’t be what I want to be. When I begin to be myself,
people treat me with a reverence that’s false. When I am true to my
faith, then they begin to doubt. They all believe they are holier than
I, but they pretend they are sinners, afraid to insult my solitude.
They try all the time to show that they consider me a saint, and in
this way they become emissaries of the devil, tempting me with Pride.”
“Your problem isn’t trying to be who you are, but accepting others the
way they are. And acting in this way, it’s better to stay in the
desert,” said the gentleman, walking off.
Beloved Friends!As this week's meditation tip we'd like to quote what Osho has said about meditation:
"If we can de-automize our activities, then the whole life
becomes a meditation. Then any small thing, taking a shower, eating
your food, talking to your friend, becomes meditation.
Meditation is a quality; it can be brought to anything. It is
not a specific act-when you sit facing to the East, you repeat certain
mantras, you burn some incense, you do this and that at a particular
time in a particular way with a particular gesture. They are all ways
to automize it and meditation is against automatization.
If you can keep alert, any activity is meditation; any movement will help you immensely"
This week explore Chakra Loop Breath Meditation with Live Drumming with us. It's an amazing and powerful way to open up your energy flow and drop into the silence within.
In love and learning,
I saw Okada-san again yesterday and she got very excited when I told
her I had written some heartwarming stories about her recently. She
particularly lit up when I told her my stories were mainly read by
"gaijin" (foreigners). "Oh my goodness," she said, "Who would have ever thought I'd be playing some role in communicating to thousands of foreigners!"
"I feel a bit like the foreign minister," she said, "But without all the political responsibilities."
"Please be sure to tell them all I said Hello! And be sure to let them know I bowed to each and every one of them." She said while bobbing up and down several times.
I could tell her mind was really in overdrive.
Samhain,
pronounced sow-ein, is a time of magic, a time when the doors to the
unseen world of Spirit are less substantial than usual, so, providing
us with easier access, at least for those of willing to make the
journey.It was at
this time of the year that the ancient Celts would celebrate the end
and the beginning of their new year. It is the time of the hag or the
crone aspect of the Triple Goddess.
One
of the IBTA Board members gives an inspiring portrait of life mastery
and the breath’s role in supporting one’s quest. -ed.What is Life Mastery? What does it look like? How do you feel when you are living a masterful life? Is it a path, a destination, or simply an illusory dream that can never be realized in our lives? Although, I have asked, studied, listened and spoken about mastery most of my life, one beautiful summer solstice morning, quite innocently, I decide to ask my Inner Knowing about this very simple yet elusive topic. Here is what I heard…

Hello Everyone, On Saturday
October 17, at 11am
eastern time (8am pacific time), I’ll do a radio interview on
Asheville
Radio 880 AM ‘The Revolution’. You can listen in by
logging onto www.ViratoLive.com.
We’ll be talking about the Awakening that is occurring all over this
planet; we’ll be talking about Self-Realization and Liberation, and
the Spiritual Breathing Movement. And I’ll be sharing the latest
breakthroughs in the Art and Science of Breathwork: the latest approach,
focus, process and results. Be sure to tune in!
The final
Breath and Breathing event of the year will be held in Ventura, CA from October 14th to the 24th.
Of course things don’t always happen they way we wish they would.
There are moments in which we feel we are seeking something that is not
meant for us, knocking on doors that don’t open, waiting for miracles
that don’t manifest themselves. Fortunately
that is the way things are - if everything went the way we wanted, soon
we would no longer have anything to write about, nothing to guide our
daily thoughts. This script serves our dreams as nourishment, but to
our battles as energy. And as it always happens with the warriors that
spend all their energy in the Good Fight, there are moments in which it
is best to relax and believe that the Universe is still working for us
secretly, even if we cannot comprehend it.
