Day 8 100 Freedom Breaths

8th of February 2012

It was a decision made with a beautiful friend of mine who is also doing the 100 Days of 100 Freedom Breaths.   She said she was going to do a crystal 100 and I was inspired to also discover the magic of the 100 with crystals.

As is the beautiful case with the 100 Breaths, they always happen as they are to occur and not always according to plan!   (Little bit like trying to herd cats!)   I do love how there is already an idea, yet the 100 will always take you where you need to go, not necessarily where you think you "want to go".

So, we agreed we would do the 100 at about the same time in the evening around 9pm, both of us working with crystal energies....well what actually occurred was...

9pm rolled around and the kids should be off to bed because its school the next day.  Right that's about normal isn't it?   Ok didn't happen!  My almost 11 year old daughter joked and mucked around with me stringing out her bedtime.  My 17 year old son had disappeared for a late night run about 8.45, and I had expected according to patterns that he would come in, shower check out the social media sites and then pop off to bed at 10pm.   

In the meantime I started to bring out my crystals and place them outside in the moonlight.  Even though the clouds were thick I did regularly see the moon shining brightly through gaps promising to be there when I was ready.

I made myself a drink and went outside to sit on the balcony with my bare feet dangling over the side alongside my crystals and tea.   Both cats and my dog gathered around me, then returning from his run my son found me outside and sat along with me chatting and teasing me about what I was doing, you know the crystals and the moon.  We laughed and talked, him sharing some of his world, me sharing some of mine, with little interludes of "Mum what have you been smoking, oh thats right you don't need to, your crazy already" I giggled along with him, watching the moon rays, but not seeing the moon, here is the thing, the two cats, dog "Puppy" and my son continued to stay with me.  What a delightful gift!   

But I wasn't going to start the 100 with him there.  For a felt a need to be alone with this 100.   This continued until 11pm.  Significant because his self imposed bed rules were not attended too!   He seemed to enjoy the process we both experienced as the sky began to clear and we talked about space, universe and other intangible things.  Of course all his discussions were based on science, and he teased me when it came to "Mum's fantasy" as he called it.  What a pure delight!

So, if you are still reading, then this next part is for you because its another level of connectivity that the 100 has called from within me.

My son eventually went inside to shower, so I started a partially participating 100.  I could feel the call to go deeper, but I held back knowing at any stage he would come out to say good night.    By about 30 I was feeling a deep pull from my feet into the ground and a pull from the moon herself.     I resisted my body moving too much and instead went into a trance like state while focused upon the moon.   Each breath gently encouraged my feet to feel deeper into the earth and as I pushed down I felt the surge of energy from the earth coming up, this beautiful feeling brought me more and more grounding, yet I was staring directly at the moon!

I finished that 100 and finally my son went to bed!  Ah....now its my turn to enjoy more fully.   I turned all the lights in the house off, and went back outside.   The clouds had all rolled on and the moon was in full visibility!  Perfect!   Immediately we returned to the place we had been before. 

Moving away from individuality and toward connectivity!

This next 100 was very subtle, very slow and very connected.  My feet planted deeply within the earth I could feel her rhythms, my body gently arched and my navel lead with this next 100.   I could feel the connection with the moon through my belly, as I more fully connected, I became glaringly aware to slow my rhythm down, to feel the subtleties of the movement.   I went in and out of heightened awareness of the night sounds to extreme awareness of the gentle pull and tug upon the earth from the moons pull.    LOUDLY and with absolute certainty I knew to explore gently, because I could feel so much of our mother nature, her interactions, the movement of the tides, the gentle throb of the inner core of the earth, The Womb of the Goddess.

I learnt at an even deeper level the subtle power of our connectivity.

With true love and admiration to everyone and everything on our planet earth, thank you for our very existence.  Thank you for the oneness that we already are, for that was the other experience I had.  For when the moon again became covered by a dark cloud, I could still feel her presence, and the in and out breath applied what I know as a fractionation (an up and down, in and out, aware and not aware, connected and sense of individualness).  By the way I know some of my words are almost made up, as I am attempting to discover words to articulate such a deep experience.   This fractionation left me feeling deeply aware that we are always connected to everything and everyone, its simply my level of awareness at any time that places an illusion of separation.

Well I guess that brings us to the end of my experience of the 100 for the 8th day.

So in one with you I breath

In one with the earth we breath

In one breath we already are connected.

Joy Your Ride!

Day 7 100 Freedom Breaths

7th February 2012


I'm going to call today's experience the Racing 300!  There is a simple reason, and that's because I decided on my walk with my daughter and our gorgeous purse-puppy - so originally named "Puppy"!   Anyway - it was an interesting decision.  We decided to walk around the race-course.

I was walking fast and also attempting to stay very present when my daughter was chatting!  haha....Oh dear - My first hundred raced through - and well, I felt to carry on.  The second 100 she ran ahead and I was able to focus far more....these 100 seemed to very much be a release, lots of relief as I breathed out....just before about 80 my daughter stood waiting for me to catch up with her.

I must say - I at first felt a little annoyed and then realised this is it - this is life!   I'm giggling just thinking about this whole beautiful learning.

One of my forever interests in life is how to get past being the monk on the hill!   I have desired to bring that beautiful spiritual presence into what I class as the "Real world", which is and of its self hilarious - because its illusional anyway!  Ok, but my point here is that this was IT!   Being Present and conscious and participating in life!

This particular 100 was conscious breathing - when in the presence of other people.  Moving meditation and communication with another, relational breathing, conscious deliberate now attention in the moment with another being too!

As I grasped the idea my joy started to rise and I loved every moment of completing the second 100.   Of course as we carried on - I naturally followed through with the third 100.

Now it became more of a "song or rhythm in my head", the occupier of my space when I wasn't engaged in listening to my daughter!

So the racing 300 was a completely different experience all together.  It highlighted as the 100 Freedom Breaths always do a very natural human process.   We always have time to connect with others - but are we taking them up?

How can I more fully enjoy every moment of conscious breathing and enjoy other people, causing a natural conscious awareness and presence to become habituated? (Kind of an exciting question really).

People who are very present in themselves and self aware are such a pleasure to be in the same room with.  They judge less, say less, act out less and basically move through life less "stuck" in story, "drama" and illusion.   These are the people who care deeply but don't buy into their own or other peoples justification, denial or blame .   Instead they view life as a connected existence, full of fun, exploration and possibility.  They live with their centre of self knowing that its a part of something glorious, creative and blessed.

It excites me that every human being has this potential, this way of being inside of them, simply awaiting to become.

Now this is something to explore!
Go the Racing 300!
Breathe consciously my friend

Day 5 100 Freedom Breaths

5 February 2012

Even though I was tired and slow today, I still held Clarity of Intent to experience the 100.  I ran a bath and soaked within the warmth of it.  As I did I started to consciously breath.  Each breath circulating through my body.  My lazy mind darted in an out of the familiar and I lost conscious count at about 15 for a number of breaths.   When I realised I re-focused and purposefully attended to breathing and feeling the power of presence...

It's so easy in life to go into robotic mode.  To be completely unaware as we move through our day, doing tasks and responding to life.  It's so easy to let the mind simply wander in and out of thoughts and getting taken through the myriad of webs of the mind.  I noticed that this meandering is often with content that has already occurred and plays over like an ad running and re-running on the TV, one thought leading to another and another, I'm sure it has purpose?  Well actually I'm not sure, I feel when I'm in a lazy and unaware state that it is simply noise, mind noise which is familiar and easy.

I have a feeling though, that this mind noise distracts from our incredible creative authenticity.   When I'm aware and conscious of myself, my mind, my body, my emotions through observing, paying attention and aware of my intentions, its a completely different experience all together, there is an excitement, a willingness and an anticipation within me.   This purposeful attentiveness seems to invoke creativity and new thoughts, it plays with purpose and offers new unexplored content.

I'm the first to admit that my mind muscles are what I would call lazy.   They keep running through similar patterns, going over easy already walked and screened experiences, documentaries within my mind that I'm updating and reinforcing.   Why I ponder....

In this moment now I just realised why that occurs (well for me) as the images build I assign emotion (connection) to them, now this I admit has been an unconscious process even though done with expertise by my powerful mind.  However in this moment I realise the purpose of it.  

The emotions feed the energy of the thought, and this then builds the thought into something more substantial.  As each thought runs through - supposedly carelessly, I then acquire the necessary values and beliefs that will build the energy of the thought.   The constant re-run from various angles begins to build a collective of experience.  Goodness I'm in awe right now!  Thats it - what incredible beings we are.  This thought energy then grows and as it is re-run again, it will then be assigned to other experiences - either real or imagined to build a complete system of knowledge within myself of this type of experience.

Let me give an example:   Lets say it its an argument, (by the way - had or not had yet).   The playing through of this "argument" will begin to attract emotions that back up an experience - forward come some options (normally old borrowed beliefs I would imagine) that feed into the thought, these emotions then draw attention to the situation and values and beliefs show up to be chosen to support the current perspective.   Now I know that at the time I'm not aware of this process within me - I'm simply Doing what I do, CREATE!

I'm seriously very excited right now - just having been through this thought.  Ok back to the "argument" at hand. (because that's what the mind would do), now its had time to collect an entire library of resource that will continue to feed that "argument situation" the playing over and fine tuning of tone of voice and facial expressions of the person, feeds into the thought energy and draws even more emotion and a complete string of connection, beliefs and values - this "hardens" the experience to put into play a reaction.   We will then either act out this "argument creation" or store it for a later date!

Fascinating!  Simply glorious.  Love it.

So I'm wondering - keeping in mind the purpose of these 100 Days of 100 Breaths and the purpose to increase and begin to understand Clarity of Intent what else I can learn as each breath allows space to evolve!

PS posted the day after (oops time flew by yesterday)

Breathing with you

Day 3 100 Freedom Breaths

3 February 2012

I'm vastly interested right now in the environment within our bodies and outside of ourselves.

Today my 100 breaths lead me to notice the environment of my inner being as I breathe.   Each breath as it circulated gently pulled from my belly instead of from my nose, no force, simply inhaling and exhaling allowed me to be aware of myself, and yet I couldn't truly discover where I started and finished, for as these breaths continued to circulate, it was as though even though I was aware of me - the space, was completely un-solid!   Yet I have a body right!  Where did it disappear within the space of the breath?  Even though it was momentarily.

You have a body right?  You do - I see yours and other all of the time - your body, my body, your thoughts and my thoughts interacting as we communicate, your emotions expressed through how you are being, my emotions expressed through how I'm being, yet as each breath circulated there were moments where those thoughts, emotions and body were invisible, and only space occurred.  Even now as I'm writing I can re-experience this moment over and over again, yet my hands continue to type and words continue to form onto the screen in front of me.  Gosh we are multiplicity in action.

So questions for direction comes to mind....for what purpose have we individualised?   For what purpose have I seen myself as such a separate individual?  For what purpose have I rolled around in my own dramas?  For what purpose have I witnessed and experienced such inconsequential things that I made to be so dramatic or allowed to effect me so strongly?  For what purpose has this been unfolding?

A lovely moment occurred to me just now, is it really air that I'm breathing?   I remember the first Matrix movie where the question is raised. When Morphious asked Neo  "Do you think that's air your breathing?"  Oh I know your thinking that's a movie.  So is our lives they are clusters of visual, auditory and emotive senses all placed together in one place for an experience to be had.

What if the breath we breathe is the oneness?

What if the "air" as a label is the oneness the space of potentiality the connectedness occurring continuously always in one moment.  Oh of course it is!....perhaps.

The air and energies within which we move, and play are all full of information from across our planet, potential experiences, potent moments to become...

For what are we/I becoming?  Where is our future leading to?  What are we creating within our singular and collective space?   Is this by accident, or are we becoming conscious enough to trust our inner authenticity, our inner knowingness?

Much to ponder....many breaths to take
So thats my musings from today's 100 Breaths.
Joy Your Ride!

I'm excited - things are changing so fast around me now.   I am noticing the changes and sometimes wondering "wow how did that happen so fast?"  I notice I'm thinking differently, I am experiencing myself in new ways, and change is in the air - there are fresh green leaves on the trees - Spring has burst out across New Zealand.

The above picture is taken on my walk today by the river...sweet beautiful fresh smells of spring.  I took off my shoes and put my feet into the ice cold river.   Biting cold!   And I did my 100 Freedom breaths in my bare feet.  My heart sang with joy.

I read this on my FB Page today.


‎"Your Life is A Duplicate of Your Consciousness.You create by saying what you want and know that is right for you to have it .People who know that their THOUGHTS create their REALITY do not live their lives in fear. They understand and cooperate with the laws of the universe. They know the results they get is a reflection of the energy they give out. When you realize this you also realize that your life is an exact duplication of your thoughts. So when you look at your own life, you can always see right down to the exact detail what your thoughts are, because your body, your relationships and your life is a feedback mechanism of your MIND. Prosperity or Poverty... The CHOICE is Yours!."~John Ramsey


My discovery has been very much - this experience of myself. And to see through the current illusion is the beautiful creation process to begin to see it as new. To begin to create from another space - the breath helps this.

Yes I see my externals as I have created them to be.
Yes I am able to breath and be present
Yes I am able to allow a new way of being to emerge
Yes I breath life Into this new way of being.
Yes - therefore it is.

The power of the breath becomes even more exciting in this regard. Every breath I take, every step I take, every thought I make is me emerging in a moment in time.

My current perspective is difference than it used to be - The powerful question here is - am I seeing differently or using old filters. Perhaps its time to change my story.

And then a new story
And then a new story

Each breath allows a new moment of possibility.

My limitations are only my limitations according to me allowing my potentiality to expand.

Thank you my beautiful friends.

The 100 freedom breaths continues to take me on a journey into the creation process and beginning to really explore the co-creation process.  Now that's a breath taker!....
