It is a well-known fact that the Holidays have a tendency to bring out the worst in families. How many times have you heard people say: "So glad it's finally over!" Sounds familiar? So while the bitter tastes of dysfunctional family dynamics may linger in the air for a bit longer, we have to remember that everyone wants peace. Yes, even those that seem to actively prove otherwise by purposefully stirring up old grudges. There is more going on than just dysfunction in our lives. Perhaps you have noticed that things have shifted here on planet Earth, not just for you as an individual but for humanity as a whole. Over the past 3 months I can't tell you how many of my friends and clients have "suffered" a gap in their relationships, have broken up, tried to mend their relationships once again, moved out, divorced, gained weight, gotten terribly sick and so on. It's been a roller coaster ride for many in the truest sense of the word. There are many reasons for that. Part of it is the mass consciousness that affects everyone of us, even those who do not watch TV and do not read the newspapers, another part is astrological; we are going through an exiting time in our evolutionary journey. The coldest season is resting upon us and it's not uncommon for us to hibernate, snuggle up, spend more time inside our homes and inside our spiritual kingdoms. It's the season to reflect, even if we are not aware of it. This is the season when then sun is visible less time than the moon; and you may know that our moon controls gravitational forces, the mystery, the deep of our very soul, our dream state, our intuitive sides and so on. Our moon is a representation of contraction; this is the time we hold our breath. Our moon affects what some refer to our third eye, and much more. On the other hand, the sun controls radiation, the giving, shining onto other things, it is responsible for activating and connecting with our solar plexus, if we just would let it. Our sun is responsible for our expansion when we exhale. This month and next, I would like to encourage you more than anything to breathe, breathe deep and breathe with a purpose and goal in mind. The following is a great exercise for you to do every day, several times a day, in particular during those stressed times. - Fill your abdomen and chest with a deep breath - Hold it for eight seconds - Let the breath go as slowly as you are able to - Repeat this process seven times If you have not done any deep breathing exercises you may get a feeling of being out of breath and you may have to take a regular breath between the seven deep breaths. That's okay. The best times to do this exercise is first thing in the morning and last right before retiring while laying down in your bed. You can also do this exercise while you are driving. Or when you are waiting in line and anywhere where you remember to do it. When you breathe in, you are breathing in the "mysterious," so make sure you breathe in with a positive purpose. When you breathe out you are opening up your solar plexus which is the exact same thing as our big sun in the galaxy. Your solar plexus is a mini-version of the sun and has the exact same function to your life and body as does the sun to our planet. The sun gives, when you breathe out you give too. The sun warms and makes things grow, when you breathe out you do the same for others. So breathe out love and gratitude into the universe and for all people, always knowing that just like the sun's rays reflect off the moon at night (and therefore the sun never ceases to be visible) the rays you project to the outside world reflect off the people whose lives you touch. Your breath is life giving, life sustaining, life creating. Go create the life you always wanted to create, and do it with love.
