I created this Blog to explore SelfMastery, help myself and others by sharing my poetry, insights, stories, proverbs, and hopefully learning from some of your responses.Join the Journey share your experiences and life lessons. Start your day with a sip of Gye-Nyame. Remember support the Journey by visiting the tip jar or purchasing a book. Proceeds go to help others move toward SelfMastery through my Tribe and some of the community organizations I work with.
Peace FAM:
I have been pushing heavy on the breathing and will continue to do so family. The breathing exercises that I am sharing and talking about will change your life. On this powerful day of Imani I discussed the retention of the breath. Family, breathing right not only contributes to your physical health it helps you with the other 4 parts of your being. I am stressing this in the blog, 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, and especially those in GNJ's Warrior training (coming soon). Breath is the key that helps unlock the trauma, correct the body, clear the mind, and provide us with the energy needed to build the culture that a nation can spring from. I am saying that how we breath set us into a rythm that will either put us in time with oppression, or freedom. Most of us are breathing in the rythm of slavery, and oppression.
Now let's look at the retention of the breath. When you consciously hold your breath you are making an effort to take control of your your being. Breathing is an automatic unconscious process, and by you attempting to take control of this process you are making a move toward SelfMastery. When we attempt to hold our breath we run up against an unconscious force that seem impossible to overcome, but with practice we can begin to increase the amount of time we can hold our breath. The fact that we will come to learn is that the exhale is more about ridding the body of carbon dioxide rather than taking in more oxygen. The secret is that there is still oxygen in your system and you have to train your body to access this hidden treasure. The question that I have for you is, if you can control your breath what else can you control. Your breath is the number 1 unconscious process that you are involved with. If you can control your breath, then you can take control of other unconscious process that may be reeking havoc in your life. View the video and let me know what you think, and remember "Stop Breathing Through Your Mouth" and let's build.
Nuff Said
Peace, Power, Joy and 1hunidyears.
