A Breathing Meditation

A wise man once said, “if we are alive, we cannot escape pain, however suffering is optional.”

Suffering is a choice

Suffering is a belief. The belief of separation thinks that we are separate. Separate from one another, from the creator, and sometimes from ourselves. In reality, we are all one. We have all heard of the analogy of the drop of water and the ocean. Like that drop of water, we the essence of creation. Creation and I are one.
Living in a world of polarity and duality it is easy to think of separation as being real. You may argue (as you are reading this) you are in front of your computer or another device, and I am where ever I am at that time. Consequently, we have to be separate. The reality is that perception is an illusion and that illusion causes suffering because deep, within, we know the truth.
Accordingly, any belief we have will trigger thoughts that are going to validate that belief. When we reinforce a belief, that belief energetically attached itself to our energetic field. The reinforcement of a false belief causes imbalance, attracting more of what we do not want (in the quantum, likes attacks likes). Those congruent beliefs cause the chakras to become imbalanced, and soon things are spiraling out of control. A simple remedy is to go inward, connect to the light we already are, and bring it to our awareness.
This concept of being, one, will always be resisted by the ego. The ego perceives this notion as losing its identity. However, if we can experience oneness, then the mind will gracefully accept it. Now let’s dive in.

The meditation

In the beginning, it is essential that you sit comfortably in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. As you progress, you’ll be able to do this exercise almost anywhere. So, for now, let’s remove all distractions. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Now scan your body to see if there is any discomfort. You are now very comfortable. Start feeling the chair or where ever you are sitting. Feel yourself merging with that chair.
Now gently bring your attention to your breath, do not try to change it in any way. Your job is only to breathe. As you become aware of your breath, you may notice that your breathing changes, perhaps getting deeper and slower. Whatever comes to your attention is all find. Some may even notice their breath speed up at first and seem erratic. The key here is not to control or try to adjust your breath. Let it be as it is. Give your body full permission to breathe as it wants to. Your body is in control; you are just the observer. Your only job here is to watch your breathing. Be aware of yourself breathing in, breathing out. Be with yourself.
In the beginning, you may notice that your thoughts wander off. You only need to bring your attention back to your breathing. Do not judge yourself, be gentle. Notice how it feels to have air coming into your lungs and how relaxing it is to let it out. Don’t try to pull the air in or to push it out. Let your body breathe all by itself, in its own way and pace.
When we breathe, we take in the life force given to us without any condition. Our breath is the acceptance of unconditional love from the Divine. With our breath, we connect with Spirit. With our breath, we are one with all creation. As we breathe, we become grateful for all that is. Know that Gratitude is the precursor of all healing.
Do not worry if your mind wanders; it will. Gently bring your awareness back. It is unlikely you will get on your first try. That may be why meditation is not that popular in our time of instant gratification. However, if you are diligent, the more you practice, the sooner you will be able to go into stillness, and your mind will settle down. You will begin to know your true self, the infinite being you are.

I see you, and I am ONE.

  1. Great post Juan, and such an easy beginning in understanding how to meditate. I learned a long time ago in Ayurvedic classes that we are one we just allow materials to get in the way. That we are all connected we have chosen to instead spend our physical lives trying to get reconnected.

  2. Juan, I love that quote you said. I learned it long ago and share it with my coaching clients. They love it. I gives us such power and choice. Great post – very articulate and to the point. Those who think they can’t certainly will benefit from your guidance.
