Process and Breathwork

The base chakra, the earthed chakra, the red, is about safety. We decide very early on, I think in utero, because we come through the bodies of women who think it’s dangerous to be in a body, that it’s not safe to be in a body, thus life is not safe. This is an all pervading thought form, what I call an archetypal belief in civilized society, that it is not safe to have a body, the physical Universe is dangerous. This is victim consciousness, this is the consciousness of at any moment, at any time something can attach me: a tree will fall, a brick will hit me on the head, it will hurt. I don’t even need bricks and trees, I don’t need them at all. I can be all by myself, and suddenly my body has a pain, it is attacking me. It’s the physical. The physical universe is right here, and everything we write about, everything we think  about, everything we project on movie screens, and on pieces of paper is a reflection of what is going on here (inside). And any one of us, if we encountered any pain on our entry into this place, we think that it can hurt us.

Now, our next step was to discover that while there were lots and lots of these others around, nobody was listening, and no one was actually there to be gentle with us. And in fact we got put over in a little box, and there were nobody there at all. Now, this is engendered during pregnancy. What I have noticed is that pregnant women are supporting another human being. And that human being is in her body, in this second chakra, the chakra of support, the social chakra many people call it. It’s a very intimate situation, but/and she is walking around and thinking there is no one there for me, because she was born the same way she is going to give birth to us, and her mother was born the same way. I have got to do this, I’ve got this family to take care of, I’ve got this husband to take care of, I’ve got this house to take care of, and there is nobody there for me. So, we are inside the body, and the mind system of someone who’s convinced that it is not safe, and there is no one there for me. What are we going to think? It’s in our cellular structure, these archetypals. We quite literally create ourselves in the soil that is thinking that it is not safe, and that I am not supported. And our mothers give birth to us in the way they think about life. So, we then have a physical experience of it when we are born. It’s a thought, it’s a concept, it’s there, but/and it can be changed at any moment if we are received in love, if we are supported in some way when we come out.
 

And this moves on to the solar plexus, which I notice is the place where we feel butterflies if we are really nervous. If there is really something going on we get like a cramp in the stomach, butterflies right in here, in the upper chakra of the physical. Some have called it the mind of the body, the solar plexus. And it’s directly related to the physical mind, because it is about feelings, and feeling engenders thought because an experience requires a thought and a feeling. We human beings are so run by our feelings that we think our feelings have a thought - they don’t! Our feelings are just feelings. So this is actually the center for sensation and feeling nature having a body. Feelings are life energy registering in the physiology, registering in this magnificent communication device that we have created, co-created. And all of them though, have a thought attached to them, out of past experience.  So, we need to begin to change the thoughts, and let the feelings be whatever they are, so that we can get our energy moving, and not be afraid of it. Because if I have the thought Oh my God there is danger, I am afraid attached to this feeling, I’m just going to scare myself, I’m just going to hide. If I have a thought attached to these sensations, this energy that’s registering in my physiology that there is no one there for me, I’m alone, then am I going to come out, am I going to communicate what is going on for me? There is nobody there for me, it’s dangerous anyway. So, I’ve got these sensations going on in my solar plexus, it’s probably going in different places, well I’m just going to have to get this together here, maybe I will take a digestive pill or something.. It’s safe to feel is creator consciousness. Creator consciousness makes a choice about what to think, so that the energy that is registering, that is flowing can nourish that thought. Because when I think that it is dangerous, I’m nourishing that though with all this energy.

Everything alive need food, we water the plants, we feed our bodies, our life energy is nourishing our thoughts, is feeding our thoughts. When a baby is in utero, you don’t have to think about it, a woman don’t have to think about nourishing the baby, it’s a natural process. Well, this is exactly what is happening with though and life energy, thoughts and feelings. We haven’t thought about it for so long that we have gotten ourselves in a real pickle. It’s time to think about it, it’s time to think about the thoughts and messages that we are sending and nourishing in our unborn children. And anyone of us has unborn children, the thoughts that create results in our lives. So, we use the metaphor of birth and conception and pregnancy, and the truth is that in every moment you are conceiving a thought, you are nourishing it with your energy, and if those thoughts are Life is dangerous, It’s not safe to be here, There  is no one there for me, then you are using your life energy unwisely, and you are responsible for pissing yourself off, making yourself real angry, because we don’t like lies. Everyone is exceedingly integris. So, this center, the yellow, and it’s fascinating too, because if you look at color, you’ve got red, and yellow, you’ve got either danger, and associated with feelings, danger, coming together in the orange, and if you got Feelings are dangerous, then who is not there for you? You! You have abandoned your self. You have separated yourself from yourself. You are the mother who have let go of her child, and let it out there into nothingness. So, as we begin to integrate safety, and it’s safe to feel, in creator consciousness we choose I am safe, My feelings are safe in the orange, the yellow and the red coming together, we begin to feel supported, we begin to think I’m doing a really god thing here for myself, I’m taking very good care of myself. This is all about you, your own consciousness, you become a loving mother when you begin to make choices that are going to enhance your life.
 

And we come to  -  the Binnie chakra! Now, there are many systems, and there are actually many more chakras than the basic seven we talk about all the time. It is this one between the yellow and the green of the heart that I call the resurrection chakra. Resurrection happens every spring when everything comes to life again. And the color of brand new leaves, this wonderful yellow-green, it has even become an important fashion color in the last couple of years. The resurrection of God’s child is the knowledge, is the certainty that I am the one who chooses. I can feel however I am feeling, I can let my feelings move, I can let my energy move into every cell of my body, and I am the one who chooses what to think about it. And as I choose what I think, I determine how I am going to experience the next moment of now. I create how I am going to experience my life! I have a choice. This takes you directly out of victim consciousness, and put you into creator consciousness.
 

I have all these thoughts, our heads are full of thoughts, and if they are not there, they are floating around, and in someone else’s head and they are going to come through my head at some point or another. You can read the newspaper and get one perspective of life, in fact you can get ten or twenty perspectives of life reading one newspaper, you can turn around and read this book and get another perspective, and you can get another perspective, and your can read this one, and get yet another perspective. There are libraries full of books saying that man is a carnivore, eat meat! With research projects done and everything. Then you can go over here, and there is another library full  of books saying that man is a vegetables eater! Fruit and vegetables, that’s it! And equally well supported by research. You can find any perspective you want, and you don’t even have to go to the library, you can find it all going on right in your own mind: I’m guilty, I’m innocent, I’m safe, ooh no I’m not.. It’s all going on right in here. Now, are any of those thoughts who you are? No. Not one them, not one of those thoughts are who you are. Who you are is the one, and one is not singular in my cosmology, who you are is the one who chooses. We choose apples, we choose oranges, we choose eggs, we choose flowers, we choose partners, we choose all the time. We are choosers. Bring it home, bring it in. Start becoming so refined as a human being that you choose what your are thinking so that you can allow your energy to flow and move. Because if I choose No, if I choose danger then I’m going to contract. I have to, because I have to protect myself. I have to keep myself safe, because nobody else is going to. If I choose Yes - I’m safe; if I choose Yes - there is someone here for me, then I open and I begin to have that experience, because I’m available for it. And then I can begin to listen to my heart.
 
 

When I am available and beginning to integrate I am safe, There is somebody there for me, My feelings are safe, I have a choice, I begin to center in innocence, and that is what the heart chakra is about. Everyone of us took a first breath right into this space, and we created, we caused, we began an enormous change. And at the same time all these other things were happening to us  - that we have spoken about. What am I going to think - I have done something wrong. And I shut down. This energy center is essential to the flow, free flow of energy. This heart chakra is right in the middle. We have got three upper, and three lower, and this little thing here (resurrection chakra), and other ones, but the main issue is to open the heart, and that’s exactly what we do  first. So, that is why we breathe into the high chest. On the esoteric level it is essential to open the heart before we know what is going on at all. We just don’t even have a glimmer of what is happening until we take the risk of breathing into this center, letting it open like a flower, receive what is really happening. Beginning to look through the hearts eye. Now, our hearts eye up until now, through that shutdown, has been just like a little squint, and what we se is danger, most of the time! Open it up, see what is happening. Listen with the hearts ear. Begin to look out to find Spirit, look out see God, look out there to see innocence, look for it! The heart’s eye looks for it. And we always find what we are looking for - I’m telling you, you will always find exactly what you are looking for. Even if you think that was not what I was looking for - I was looking for love. If you encountered attack, if you pain and struggle, then that is what you have looked inside and seen, and are looking for. As you open the heart, and you open the heart’s eye you start looking for love - and you find it everywhere. And everyone of you have had a very clear experience of that in the last few days (during SOURCE warm water session), if you haven’t ever had it before. Because it is everywhere, in every one. And it’s the truth, not just in song lyrics, and poems, and all of that. 

So, we move up through the chakra system, opening the heart, because we do have to get used to I am safe, and I am supported, and it’s OK to feel before we really let it open a little bit. And when it’s open, we begin to have a glimmer of ourselves as the expression of love that we are. This energy center (throat) is about expression, but/and it is not about violent expression, although that can be part of it. It’s about the expression of love to yourself. And expression is a circular process - this center includes the ears, includes listening. Listening is the key to all communication. Listening for love, looking for love, it’s there. As this center opens, as we open our throats, and this is why we emphasize relaxing our jaw when breathing, you are physically opening the channel for more air, for more energy, more life support to move in  - to help open your heart. It is a circular process, and it continues. It isn’t ‘Oh, I did this once’. It is not about opening your throat, and relaxing your jaw once, it’s an ongoing process because it expands, and expands, and expands. And believe me, it opens up channels to wonders you can’t even imagine.
 
 

You really discover I am a loving being. I’m doing all these wonderful things for myself. And it is beginning to extend outwards, and I know then, in every cell of my body, that I am connected. It is no longer a concept, because I begun to connect all of my parts. I have a thought, and it manifests in my body; in a SOURCE breathwork session it happens instantly. So, you get the experience that I am connected. And that begins to extend, and I can begin to include everyone. I know that I am thinking with you. I have experienced over and over and over again of us thinking the same thought, or doing the same thing at the same time, or moving in the same direction at the same time. I am connected, this center, this amazing, fabulous, wondrous center of love and wisdom and connection; the third eye, the eye that looks inward in order to see out. The eye that looks in and sees the whole Universe - as One. And then comes out, into it, with it. And that blue, combined with the yellow, makes the color green - it’s so sweet, the color spectrum, you can learn so much by just getting into the colors and how they combine.

Now, blue, that intense primary blue, combines with the red, and makes the crown, the purple, the color of the crown chakra. I am Spirit. I am connected - I am One with everything. And I am individuated in physical form. And I am back to the red again, and I am flowing, it goes upwards, it goes downwards, it’s all around, it’s like a hologram. All these energy centers are operating all of the time, and we have a choice about whether we activate the creator consciousness, or whether we activate our victim consciousness. It is up to us. This is using the will wisely. We gave ourselves choice. You are free to choose whatever you want.
