Experience God Directly with the Unity Breath

I was first introduced to the Unity Breath meditation by my Reiki Master four years ago. Using the Unity Breath during this early time, allowed my relationship with Mother Earth to deepen. Since that first introduction, I have read about the Unity Breath in Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda and have been taught the meditation again by Drunvalo Melchizedek through his Awaken the Illuminated Heart class. With practice over the years, this wonderful and sacred meditation has allowed me to really connect with God's presence in and around me.  It is truly sacred and has been found to be used by many indigenous tribes around the world including the Aboriginals in Australia, the Maori in New Zealand, the Zulu in Africa, the Hopi, Taos, and Lakota Native Americans, the Kahuna in Hawaii, the Eskimos in Alaska and the Mayans in the Yucatan. 

The Unity Breath meditation connects you with the Divine Mother and the Divine Father forming the trinity with you as the Divine Child. The Divine Mother would be Mother Earth and the Divine Father could be Father sky, the sun or the world grid depending on your preference. 




Below are the steps to achieve the Unity Breath. It may look like a lot of steps but it really isn't. Read through it once to understand the flow of love that needs to happen in the meditation and then jump right in to experience God directly with the Unity Breath.



1) Close your eyes and breathe in deep. Start to relax your muscles.

2) With your inner vision, picture yourself in a beautiful nature scene. It can be mountains, lakeside, beach, or just trees...it doesn't matter. Just any nature scene that you connect with and which brings you joy. Feel the love that you have for this nature scene. Let this love for nature swell in your heart.

3) Now, take this love you have in your heart for nature and put it into a ball. Then with your intention, send this ball of love straight down to the core of Mother Earth so that she may feel your love.

4) Next, wait to feel the love that Mother Earth sends back to you! Sometimes this love from Mother Earth is felt immediately but other times it can take a little while for you to feel her love come into your awareness. But know that Mother Earth ALWAYS sends her love to you in return since you are Her child. Sit with this love from the Divine Mother and allow it to fill you up.

5) While maintaining this connection to the Divine Mother, go ahead picture Father Sky. It can be a starry night, the milky way, the planets or simply the moon or sun. Whatever image fills your heart with joy. Allow this love for the Divine Father to swell up inside of your heart.

6) Now, take your love for the Father Sky and put it into a little ball and with your intention, send it up to Heavens so that the Divine Father may feel your love.

7) Wait to feel the love that the Divine Father sends back to you....and He will! Let this love from Him move through your body and fill you up.

8) You are now connected to BOTH the Divine Mother and Divine Father at the same time. With you as their child, the Holy Trinity is formed.

9) Maintaining this connection with both Divine Mother and Divine Father, allow God to come into you and around you. Experience God directly in this way. 

I am so very grateful for the gift of this meditation and for all my teachers past and present.

...And I hope this meditation will be a blessing in your life as well!

Video on how to smudge Crystals

Here's my prayer and process to clear away negative energies that my crystals may have absorbed. Crystals are very sensitive and will absorb negative energies from the space around it. If used for healing clients, you will absolutely want to clear the crystals after one client before using it on another client. If you do not use it for healing others, you will want to periodically clear the crystals because even angry voices in the room will leave behind low vibration energies that the Crystal can absorb.

The Ascended Mindset for Peace and Ease

Here’s a question I get asked a lot from students inquiring about my classes: “There’s so many energy healing modalities out there these days. I can’t decide which one to take. Is one better than another? What’s the difference?” 

My answer to this and most questions, really, is to go wherever your heart guides you to go. All the different energy healing modalities are wonderful with each having their own power and unique vibration. There really is not a right, a wrong or a better. If you are guided to learn Reiki first, and then you move on to another healing modality, then that’s the perfect journey for you. Another person might feel like skipping Reiki all together (which I have seen a lot of these days) and go right to New Paradigm Multidimensional healing as their first step into the energy healing world and then move on to Integrated Energy Therapy (IET).  So, again, there isn't a right, a wrong, or a better. There is only YOUR sacred journey. That means with seven billion people in the world, there is possibility for seven billion unique sacred journeys!

When we start thinking with this kind of expanded perspective, we step out of duality, and step into an ascended mindset. This ascended mindset reveals that everything is really perfect and allows your heart to hold respect and compassion for others and yourself. Making decisions from this ascended mindset brings forth more peace and EASE not only for yourself but for everyone around you since there is no judgment involved.

When you follow your heart guidance system and TRUST it, there can be no wrong. Trust is key here because when you start thinking and double guessing your choices, what happens is you've activated your personality which is also your ego, and with that comes doubt, fear, anger, regret, maybe guilt if you haven't done something. When you activate the mind, the personality, the ego, there is a slew of non-loving, non-peaceful emotions that can arise. The best thing to do when you have a decision to make is to follow your heart, to trust it, and not second guess it. Follow through with that decision and then the next time you have to make a decision, you do the same thing. Just follow your heart, go with your guidance, and TRUST. Eventually, you'll be at point in your life where you look back and say, "Hey, I can actually connect all of the dots. I now understand why I was guided to do that five years ago, why I was guided to take that course three years ago. It's all coming together now. It makes sense."

And, that's how your own scared journey unfolds before you. You receive your guidance from your higher self or your team of spirit helpers. You trust them and you follow the guidance. Then your life unfolds for you so beautifully and effortlessly. Isn't that beautiful? And that's what you really want to do – move with the guided flow and not resist it by thinking too much about a decision.

I started answering the original question about how to choose between energy healing modalities (go with your heart), but I have also tapped into a valuable answer to a larger question, I think. The idea of cultivating more peace and clarity by way of taking yourself out of the mindset of duality and ascend to a new perspective of non-judgment and acceptance of divine perfection; holding love and respect for all seven million unique sacred journeys that are out there and love and respect for all beings. With this ascended mindset, there is no room for judgment whatsoever, and when there is no judgment you can find freedom and peace.

May all your decisions come from the space of freedom and peace for the highest good of all!

Blessings!

Who's on your Team of Spirit Helpers

You may have read in my bio that I have a team of Spirit helpers that I work with daily. 

Some of my Guides include my deceased Shaman Grandfather, the Beloved Quan Yin, a single floating eye named “Irena”, and my power animal Dragon.  Ascended Master, St. Germaine has recently started working with me this year as I have fully aligned with my life purpose.

So those are my Guides. But did you know that YOU also have a team of Spirit helpers working for you?

Here’s what YOUR TEAM of Spirit helpers might look like:

(1)    Personal Angels:

Everyone has at least two personal Angels that have been assigned to them at birth. Some people may have more. These personal Angels will stay with you for the duration of your lifetime helping and guiding you. They know your life path and the lessons you have chosen to learn and will help you stay on track by aligning with the goals you, yourself, set before incarnating into this life.

(2)    Power Animal: 

Your Power Animal acts similar to a guardian Angel by protecting and guiding you. The animal’s strengths and wisdom will usually be reflected in your own character. Power Animals can be mammals, reptiles, insects, sea creatures or mythical animals like unicorn and dragon. Some people say if you had a favorite animal growing up, that animal is usually your Power Animal. However, it is possible for your Power Animal to change in your lifetime.

(3)    Spirit Guides that have contracts with you:

You may have other Spirit Guides that you have selected before birth to help you at certain points in your life. These Guides will come to you for just that part of your life and then leave you when your work together is done. 

(4)    Called upon Spirit Guides:

If you felt guided to call on Archangels or Ascended Masters, like St. Germaine or Quan Yin, for specific purposes, then they will come and be your Guide for however long you call on them.

(5)    Deceased loved ones:

If you had a strong connection with a deceased loved one before they passed, it is very possible for them to stay with you and guide you from the other side.  

You can connect with your team of Spirit helpers in many different ways. The most common and simplest way is to talk to them through prayer and ask them for the help and guidance that you seek.  While prayer is simple and easy, it is extremely powerful! The prayer in thought form creates one level of vibration. When you speak it out loud, it adds another layer of vibration further energizing the prayer request or intent. This vibration is put out into the universe and the Universe gets to work matching you up with other people, things or situations that are in alignment with the fulfillment of your prayer. Now, if you have a group of people praying for the same thing, the group energy magnifies the request or intent and can manifest very quickly. That’s when miracles show up!

Have you experienced your Spirit helpers?  Do you know how many you have or what their names are? Come tell me over at Facebook!

My "Backstage Spirit" story

Spirit is always working hard behind the scenes to guide us and keep us safe. At times, they will get really creative to get our attention!

Here's a great story I wanted to share. It was during my first pregnancy. One test showed our son had a high risk for down syndrome. I knew the test result was skewed by my anger towards my husband that I  could not shake at the time of blood test. But my doctor and husband were worried and we got sent to Genetic Counseling so we can basically decide if we wanted to abort. Despite being taken on an unnecessary emotional ride during counseling, I knew deep down that our son was perfectly healthy. I just had to coach my husband's thought pattern so that he didn't downward spiral into accepting it as truth and bring me down with him. All the while this is going on, I had a very old email from years prior keep popping up as unread in my inbox. No matter how many times I marked it as read, this email from 2008 (current year was 2011) kept reappearing as unread each morning for over a month! The email was a short email from an old roommate I had during one of my Goenka meditation retreats. All she had written in that email was "That's what clarity of heart, mind and soul will get you!'.
 

I took this as Spirit backstage helping me to remember that my thoughts can shift my reality and my son's physical health was fine unless I wavered in my KNOWING of this. This knowing was, indeed, coming from a such deep (and sacred) place in my heart and soul that my mind could never contest it. I stayed faithful to this knowing and the second test showed less risk for down syndrome. Months later, my son was born healthy without any complications. Thank God for Spirit backstage!
 

Here's another similar story. Recently, a lady was considering taking Reiki classes. The following day, she saw an old email from me marked as unread in her inbox. She took that as a divine sign and contacted me to register for class. ---- I've heard countless stories like these but they never get old! Sometimes, Spirit has guided me using lyrics from songs playing n my head! I love how Spirit can get so creative backstage guiding our lives.

What's your "Spirit Backstage" story? Share it with me on Facebook here.
I'd love to hear from you!

Graduating Life

One graduates when one passes on from this life. Those left behind still require additional schooling/more experiences before joining their deceased loved ones on the other side. Consider what you can learn from those who have passed on. Live strong, live happily, live with laughter and love. Share yourself with all the people you know. Be with this life to the fullest until it is time for you to graduate yourself. Do not be too sad for those that have passed on, for graduation is a good thing and they have moved on to a much better place in spirit.

Time after time

A meditation teacher once told me that "life is simply a string of moments". There was a moment of clarity when I heard these words. Certainly makes life more manageable, doesn't it? ...and with each new moment we are given a choice to make. The two choices are always positive road or the negative road.

At each turn, at each moment, you always have a choice! You can choose wisely when you realize the impact of going down each of the two roads. When you walk down the negative road, there is sure to be misery because there is resistance to something there. When you walk down the positive road, you are choosing peace and happiness. There is no resistance here and so it allows you to live with ease.

Here are some examples of how we are faced with a choice in all life situations and its impact on our lives.

Let's say, you fail an exam. You can choose to beat yourself up and decide never to take the exam again (ruled by fear/ego) or you can choose to see it as a lesson learned and remain optimistic about the second attempt. Which road leads to misery and which leads to peace and happiness?

When you experience a heartbreak from a romantic partner, you will certainly be sad but beyond the greiving of the relationship, you can either choose to remain depressed and feel like the victim or you can choose to learn from the relationship and look forward to finding a new partner that suits you better. Which road leads to misery and which leads to peace and happiness?

In the case of a death of a loved one, again, you will certainly be sad but beyond the grieving of the relationship, you can either choose to remain in disbelief that the person is gone and live in misery or you can choose to accept that the person is gone and adjust back to day to day life without the loved one there. Which road leads to misery and which leads to peace and happiness?

Lastly, when you are faced with a mean person in your life, you can choose to be mean right back (either passive aggressively or otherwise) or you can choose to be compassionate and consider the reasons why the mean person feels the need to be mean and let him be without getting sucked into their pointless mean games. Which road leads to misery and which leads to peace and happiness?

Time after time, you are faced with these moments where you will have to choose the direction you want to move in. It is important to be clear that it is a choice and be responsible for your actions. Actively choose the positive road every time and you will have an easy life. Now, if we happen to go down the negative road and later realize we do not want to be in misery, we can always choose the positive road in the very next moment. How wonderful that we always get a new chance to choose! The choice is always ours to make right now! How will you choose to live the moments of today?

May you be happy. =)

Springing through life

I realize how amazing this life is as I start to connect the dots...

Each devastating fall to the bottom in my life is what has catapulted me to be who I am today. It is as if each fall (heartache from various life situations) was a compressed coil spring. The load and pressure from the compression or fall may feel like it is too much to bear at the time but eventually the spring releases and the energy provided from the release allows us growth lessons and propels us higher spiritually.

Without experiencing my upsetting failures early on in my career, I would not be as knowledgeable and effective as I am today with work. If I had not lived through broken hearts as a young adult, I would not have learned about my own needs and desires as a woman and learn of compromise between partners. As sad as it was to lose loved ones to death, I would not be as strong in my faith and understand that life is lived today and only today if it weren't for those devastating moments in my life.

When we look at each "fall" in life as if it is really preparation for our RISE in life, we can manage the devastating feeling better and survive it, perhaps, quicker. Never under estimate the potential of growth from each "fall". With the knowledge that this low point in your life will pass eventually, be loving and kind to yourself and others while you experience it.

One day, you will be able to connect all the dots.

Mindful of our Intentions

This past week, I was given an exercise as homework by my meditation instructor. The theme for the class is intention and the assignment was to be aware of our every intention every moment of the day (mindfulness). In other words, I had to constantly ask these two questions: What is it that I want? What is it that I want to stop?

I performed this exercise on the train ride home and it gave me a headache after 1 minute because the list, I realized, was infinite. The conversation in my head sounded something like this: I want the a/c on the train to stop, I don't want the class to end so late, I want the people on this train to get off, I want that lady's handbag, I want to eat, I don't want to gain weight, I want to get home faster, I want to get off this train, I want that man to stop playing his iPod so loud, I want a child, I don't want a dog, I don't want this music on my iPod anymore, I want more music on my iPod, I want to be happy, I don't want to feel angry at my ex boyfriend anymore, I want....... (and it went on non-stop - all within a span of a minute) Have you ever paid attention to your intentions? Try the exercise yourself.

There will always be something to want or not want....something to want to grab onto (cling) and something to push away (aversion). This is the nature of our mind and is never-ending.

This exercise was a way to sensitize ourselves to our intentions. So when I had an urge to write an email to an ex-boyfriend sharing how I am so excited about expanding my business, I asked myself what is my real intention here because my ex and I are not on speaking terms. Why, all of a sudden, do I want to send him this email? Finally, I realized that my real intention was to make him proud of me. Then I realized that I do this with every ex-boyfriend after the breakup. I communicate with them only to share milestones reached. While I don't want to get back together, I just wanted them to be proud of me.

This made me remember how my parents never said they were proud of me when I was young. I don't know if there is an equivalent to this phrase or sentiment in Burmese language/culture. When my parents finally said it to me in college (and in it happened to be in English), it struck something in me and I'll never forget it.

Now, there's two things I want to say about this.

1) How interesting that majority of the time, we just do things or say things without even being clear of what our intentions are! We just DO things. We just SAY things. Only to later regret it sometimes. Meditation is an exercise to shut down our autopilot and to start becoming more MINDFUL. The fact is that there is a negative impact on others as well as ourselves when we do or say things without being mindful.

2) I was looking for something in return when I completed this action. I was hoping for him to reply back saying how great it was and that he was proud of me. To put it another way, I was banking my happiness on him. When we think that our happiness comes from another person or something outside of us, we are destined for unhappiness. Because we have no control over another person or anything else outside of us. We only have control over our mind.

Consider your intentions before saying something to a co-worker. Pause before you text a friend and ask yourself, what is my intention behind this message. Just notice your intentions with every move and start becoming aware of your mind's habits.

A Crossing

...and life continues to open up for me...

I was born into a devout buddhist family in Rangoon, Burma. Buddha was my first teacher. Before I could speak, my parents taught me how to bow three times and show respect to the Buddha. Throughout my youth and teenage years, I remained a faithful follower to Buddha's wisdom and dhamma. Since the passing of a boyfriend three years ago, I have since opened up my spiritual outlook to what many now call "New Age" spirituality. This became a platform for me to realize the truth about life. I learned the significance of love and the simplicity of life. To live is to love. To experience love is to live.

Although I still practice buddhist meditation and believe in buddha's wisdom, in recent months, I have felt the urge to attend a christian church service. The reactions of both my buddhist friends and my christian friends have been interesting. =)

I sometimes get the sense that my buddhist friends are scared I might convert and my christian friends are happy at the thought that I might be "saved". All of this makes me chuckle a bit, I can't lie. I think it's so silly for both sides to feel the way they do and here is why...

There's only one god, one love, one man, one life -- regardless of whether we look through the filter of a church stained glass window or through the leaves from underneath the bodhi tree*.

Love is love, right? There's no two ways to slice it. There's only one mankind - one humanity. And we all live and share this one life. Yes? Similarly, I believe there's only one God.

Human ego can divide mankind as much it wants with numerous religions/sects, etc. but the ultimate truth is we all came from one source and we will all go back to the same source when we pass away from this life. Truth is truth regardless of label. Love is the path to get to this truth.

So my hope is that my friends will not put too much significance into the particular spiritual path I choose but rather be happy that I am journeying forward with open mind. After all, they are all just different paths to get to the same place. In the meantime, I will still keep up my buddhist altar, listen to my angel therapy and Hay House radio, try to live the way Buddha taught us to live (free from suffering) and still attend church.

Embrace Only Love.


*Buddha reached enlightenment while meditating underneath the Bodhi Tree in India.
