The Divine Possibilty

Higher Up & Further In

One thing I’ve noticed missing from most spiritual practices is breathwork. It’s no mistake that breath and spirit are the same in Hebrew.

I was talking with my friend Rabbi Howard about doing my breathwork, breathing in YH, and breathing our WH. His face lit up as he laughed and replied, “Of course.” Breathing with awareness is how we embody the Divine. The shift can happen with all sorts of meditations.

My dad was a minister whose favorite hymn was Breathe On Me Breath of God. Jesus breathed on his disciples saying, “Recieve the Holy Spirit.” The breath cadence of praying the Rosary or Chanting “Om Mani Padme Hum” can put us into the same brain state from two traditions.

One thing I love about Yoga is it’s not a belief system. It’s based on, Try this and see if it works. We can always add a boatload of religious stuff to any spiritual practice and that’s OK, but indoctrination is not the way to God.

Some scientists postulate that Light is the energy of consciousness whose catalyst is love. When we breathe with awareness we are quickened.

Breathwork can put us into the depth of awareness in flow. It can also align our heart, brain, and gut into transcendence. This is what I call the Divine Possibility, and this is why we do spiritual practice.

Sadhguru ~ It has more goodies than you could explore in a lifetime plus Shambhavi Kriya Program ~ Inner Engineering which has the posibility to bring you into a stable state of transcendence, with your mind on one side and your body on the other while you dwell in the liminal space between the two. It's pretty cool.
