Summary
Highlights
Conscious breathing helps align energy, thoughts, words, actions, and will, which is crucial for manifesting your conscious reality. This alignment affects the Pranamaya Kosha (energetic field) and Manomaya Kosha (mental body). Changing your thoughts, words, and actions, and being mindful of your walk, can shift your energy field and influence your mental state. Anchoring yourself in the present moment through conscious breathing allows you to tap into the cosmic mind.
To train oneself in mindfulness, tools like statues (not limited to Buddha), phone or computer wallpapers, and bells can be used as hourly reminders. The goal is to consciously check in with your breath every hour, even if only for six deep, mindful breaths. This practice of Pranayama can quickly shift your energetic field, leading to feelings of ease and peace. Over time, after about six months, this practice becomes natural, eliminating the need for constant reminders.
Every conscious breath acts as a command to the universe. By becoming aware of your thoughts, mindful breathing helps shift negative thought patterns and elevate your vibration. Similarly, it makes you mindful of your speech. To co-create a life of abundance and joy, your thoughts, words, and actions must be aligned. This inner power, though subtle, is key to success on the spiritual path and is activated through consistent practice.
The power of conscious inner breathing is your most significant tool. Bells, whether physical or metaphorical (like a phone ringing), serve as mindfulness triggers, prompting you to return to your divine presence. In these moments, check in with yourself: release tension, ask if you are serving your highest purpose, assess your alignment in thoughts and actions, and acknowledge your feelings and emotions. This regular processing of your internal state helps process karma in the present moment, preventing anxiety and depression, which often stem from repressed feelings due to a lack of mindful breathing and awareness.
