Save Your Breath!

Save Your Breath sometimes. Think of how precious your breath is! Feel the sensation of taking it!

For what shall you use this precious breath? Save your breath for saying the warm and loving things your family and friends long to hear. Use it for engaging oratory aimed at saving the world and your community!

You literally save your breath by preserving and planting trees! … Stopping air pollution! By quitting smoking!

Some breath, though, is wasted. We can’t help that. However, we can save it in certain rote instances. One place that comes to mind is the constant repetition of certain lines used to train children.

Save-Your-Breath, the company, evolved from my needing help as a parent and wanting to help other parents and caregivers to also “save their breath”. Having to repeat the same training lines over and over and over again for 10+ years is a universal problem! I’ve developed a CD and a Phone App to help save some of this wasted breath!

These products were created because I saw the necessity to address, in the ‘real’ world, the need for parents to catch a break periodically in the process of raising their children. Raising children is no easy task and requires many tools that run the gamut from tight to relaxed discipline. Let’s jump to a little sanity.

Besides, for kids, part of the fun of getting your attention is to have you standing there saying this stuff repeatedly. It’s a child’s power play, sometimes conscious, most times not. Are you conscious? People listen to music and business recordings over and over again to learn, to enjoy. This is no different. Put the Save Your Breath CD in earshot of the kid and go have a cup of chamomile tea.

Take my advice on child discipline. Save your breath sometimes.

In Aug 2011 I did a blog post entitled “Have a Thorough Lover Relationship with Money” or some such.  Doing so requires ‘Attention to detail’ to produce ‘maximum satisfaction’.
Feeling good at all times is the key, centered in full loving attentive appreciation of your every moment.  We transform our lives and the lives of our children and families in the process.

What is your level of ability to switch from a bad feeling to feeling good?

Electricity runs through our bodies in very subtle ways…just enough to motivate but keep from killing us.  We exercise this electric power in various degrees all of the time.  It is obviously a birthright and natural resource many of us tend to ignore.  We don’t know our own ‘strength’, so to speak.

I want us to think about it for just a minute here because if we have a different perspective on the kind of power we wield, perhaps we can manage to be more creative in the kinds of ways we address our issues with children.  Our brains basically work via electrical impulses.  The brain itself is a large receiver and disseminator of messages from On High.  It follows then that we could actually focus into that Power-laden Communication to pull in the answers to the particularly vexing questions we have in reference to the issues we’re having with our child!

Think for a moment…tons of info on the internet from various experts…books on end on the subject…yet, you need something more specific to your unique situation.  Well, tap into your very electric power.  Meditation is the means by which we are able to create changes in the direction we seek.  Flex your brain power in ways you have not before.

There are even instructions on the various types of meditation…where?…on the internet, in books,… I could even tell you.  Recognize the powerful entities that we are.  Our lives are not accidents!  We have beamed every moment into being.  Let’s beam in something new.

Are you in touch with the wattage of your electric power?

What I do in meditation:

1) Sit or lie in comfortable straight-back position.
2) Put in earplugs if needed to block out noise.
3) Relax every cell in body.
4) Close eyes, breathe deeply 5 times confirming every cell is relaxed.
5) Go to silence. (This may take 1 minute or many.  The point is to get there and hang
out as long as I can in the silence, 1 minute to 60.  Like a muscle, the more I do it
the longer I can hang out.)

When we neglect doing what brings us Joy, we find ourselves listless and unhappy.  The unhappiness gets louder and louder.  That’s when you know whole chunks of Joy are missing.

It’s amazing that many of us walk around with a large chunk of solid Joy missing.  Vicki Dello Joio defines it best in her ‘Got Joy’ video on 3/25/2012.  She describes it as a limitless spring.

It feels to me like a solid chunk of cheese that I need to keep from feeling empty and lethargic.  My solution is, of course, meditation, and the full expression of art in our lives..painting, singing, playing music, dancing…

What are you doing to pump vigorously from your wellspring of Joy?
