Just a Breath Away

By John Holland

We all have a remarkable resource that can be accessed any time we wish, and the best part of it all – it’s totally free! I have my own special name for it – my Psychic Energy Reservoir. It serves many purposes, benefitting your overall well-being and also providing a unique and wonderful way to tap into your soul. You can tap into it simply by taking your next breath. It’s important to remember that when we each enter this world, the first thing we do is inhale and before we leave this life, the last thing we do is exhale. Life, if you think about it, is one continuous series of breaths.

When I first started exploring the mechanics of my own psychic abilities, I found myself drawn to the eastern traditions, but specifically, the significance and benefits of working with breath. The basis of their philosophy is the principle that breath is life. Breath is the bridge between the body and soul. Eastern teachers have thankfully passed on their philosophies and techniques to many of us in the west. As a result, we’ve learned that in addition to the physical benefits resulting from proper breathing habits, our mental abilities, happiness, willpower, as well as our spiritual progression will advance as we adopt and practice the mechanics of proper breathing. For so many of us, we constantly take this quiet, unassuming miracle for granted. But, once working with breath becomes part of your everyday awareness, you’ll begin to wonder how you managed to survive before you ever started paying attention to it.

Who would believe that we actually need instructions on the proper way to breathe? For the majority of us, we rarely stop or take the time to study how we should breathe effectively. Hence the expression, “I barely stopped to catch my breath.” In this high-tech age, where we live and work in an ever-faster environment of rapid responses, we’ve developed so many unnatural and unhealthy ways of standing, sitting at work, and even the way we walk. Our posture quickly falls out of alignment, which then leads to constrictions in the chest, preventing us from breathing properly.
