The key to humanity’s evolution is breath.

Breathing in, out, and through is the connection between the physical body and Spirit. The silver thread between life and death—breathing—is autonomous and automatic. When we lose consciousnesses, our parasympathetic system (the part of the nervous system that that controls involuntary bodily functions) agitates the sympathetic systems (or voluntary regulations) in the body into working. A miracle of the body is it keeps us going despite our being rendered useless by the loss of consciousness.

To be in line with Divine energy, to attain and maintain our cosmic connection, our raising of consciousness demands we must breathe. The word breath translates to spiritus in Latin, prana in Sanskrit (which is synonymous with life force), spirite in French, pneuma in Greek, and hā is the Hawaiian word for sacred breath, synonymous with soul.

The alignment with Spirit we desire is attained through breathing with conscious intent. Mind-body-soul consciousness and breath is the connection to the cosmic lattice between life and death. The wisdom of all cultures’ collective and individual perspectives is dismantling the old paradigm—beliefs based on good versus bad, separateness, and the illusion of duality.

True breathing is not fast shallow chest breathing—it is deep full slow belly breathing. Take a deep breath through the nose into your belly—see the breath as white light filling you from top to bottom, feel full with it. Release—slowly. Breath again, slowly, release again, slowly. Repeat. You will feel calm, at peace, and connected with The Source.

Evolution now is the attainment of heightened awareness through breath. We are waking up and we are re-membering our divine ability at re-creation and real-ization that yes, we are all one. So breathe Spirit throughout you, into you, around you, all in infinite connection to all that is divine. All is one in the now.
