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.
Those
who dare having a project in life, foregoing everything to live their
Personal Legend, will end up achieving anything. The important thing is
to keep the fire in your heart and be strong to overcome hard moments.
Remember, the desires that are in our souls do not come from the nothingness; someone put them there. And this someone, who is pure love and only wishes our happiness, only did it because he gave us, together with these desires, the tools to make them happen.
"Visualize yourself as headless; move
headlessly, It sounds absurd but it's one of the most important exercises.
Walk and feel as if you had no head. it will be difficult in the beginning.
it will feel very strange. But by and by you will settle down to the
heart.
Dear
Friends, This week we'll
introduce "From Head to Heart
Meditation".
In this the third part of Gunnel's presentation series on the Healing Potential of Breathwork, she looks more closely at the structure of the brain and the role this plays in our development, growth and social skills.
Looking at the development and functions of the parts of the brain we can develop a deeper understanding of how breathwork interacts with the brain.
Gunnel is an internationally acclaimed teacher and author, and it is a privilege to be able to offer the global community this landmark series of presentations on the current understanding of the potential for breathwork to help us heal and become whole human beings as opposed to disparate humans doing!
Gunnel invites us to take a deeper journey into understanding the relationship between the pyschological aspects of our development and the fundemental insight that this can give us into the healing potential of breathwork.
This is the second in-depth presentation from this world renowned researcher and author.
In this presentation Gunnel explains how early psychological development is embedded into the body and how this has consequences for us later in life. She further looks at ancestral patterning, why we have it, where it comes from and how it happens.
This is a very insight filled presentation for anybody who has a deeper interest in how and why breathwork can help us to heal ourselves.
