First Breathe
When a baby is born, there is a need for the doctor to see the first breath and all subsequent breaths are clear, and strong and full. Where you have gotten to be anew and refreshing, strange and energizing for you.
The theme for this July 2022 set of readings has been change, moving on, new experiences and new life. Giving up what is not serving you and learning from that experience as you put down the burden of the baggage you are carrying.
Even if the place you are now is familiar and you have been there many times before. Perhaps you are at a favourite park. You can still practice First Breathe because it is not so much about breathing in through your nose and lungs as it is about a mental approach to where you are.
Practice the familiar being new and interesting. Look around you and see the old as new. See the power of First Breath as energy and enlightenment opening your mind.
Tree People – Sustenance
Trees sustain so much life. Birds, insect, animals, and their leaves are the lungs of the planet. Under the grass, they support burrowing life and life that rarely comes to the surface.
Shamans look at and appreciate the life of trees and the spirits in them. When a shaman walks amongst trees, they reach out with their spirits and hug the Tree People in the trees. They speak with the Tree People Spiritually.
Trees have a significant part to play in your life and that of a shaman. It is a tree that connects the depths of the Underworld and reaches up to the upper realm of light. The Tree of Knowledge is spoken of in the Book of Genesis. The Bodhi tree is said to have protected The Buddha as he gained enlightenment.
Sitting on the ground at the base of a tree will allow you to connect with the life in the tree and all around it. This simple exercise will awaken the spirit within you. Sitting under trees, as many do in a park and listening to the animals, will also bring awakening. Be thankful for the experience and say so in your thoughts.
