She looked at me with angelic eyes. My heart began to beat faster and faster. My mind began racing not knowing what she was going to say. My stomach tensed up in my lower abdomen, and my heart felt vulnerable. Something told me to deep breath. Ahhh. She continued to stare and then a light smile came upon her face. At that moment I felt a sudden peace. It was as if as soon as I began to breathe deep within, she reflected warmth back to me. As I continued to stare in her brown eyes, my mind wondered and ended up in a place of stillness in a vast of potential ideas. My cells vitalized curiosity sitting on the edge to hear her words. She was a powerful woman. One who spoke truth and justice, in such a divine way. It was an honor to be in her presence, for I knew she was about to restore truth in my being. She looked at me and softly said, “breathe baby breathe”. The vibration and rhythm of her words had hit my ears in sync with my drum. I suddenly took another long gasp of air. She took my hand and laid me down on my back with my left palm towards the heavens and my right palm touching earth. She walked over to the radio and put some soothing meditative music on. As my body laid against the cushioned white carpet, thoughts started to flood my mind. Thought after thought after thought. All of these words, pictures, and colors swarmed my awareness. She then said the words, “breathe baby breathe”. As I inhaled deeply I began to smell the Native American herb, sage. I felt my lungs begin to expand and my heart slowed down its rhythm. The powerful sage began to take me under into a deep meditation, releasing any negative energy. My body became more relaxed as I told myself to not hold judgments to my thoughts that were coming in and out. I kept my focus on my breath, for I’ve seen how the breath can take away any fears, discomforts, and doubts. I inhaled deep into my lungs, pushing on my diaphragm, and exhaled any confusion that starred in my mind. The air was so clean and pure. I felt her divine presence come around me and she graciously said, “This meditation is for you to go deep and realize that truth comes from within, no matter how much you search from outside sources, it is always up to you to decide your truth. The only way you can get to your truth is to continue to breathe baby breathe. Connect with your power, remember your divinity, and stand in your truth”. As her words ran into my consciousness, I observed what feelings, emotions, and thoughts that came about. At first I felt an emptiness void in my heart chakra, emotions of fear and lonesome, and thoughts of isolation. I felt this because for so long I would read so many books, listen to inspiration movies and CDs, sit at the feet of masters, listening and waiting for truth. She spoke to me as if she knew my thoughts of searching for truth from outside realms of life, and even seeking truth from her. Those thoughts of isolation and emotion of fear had came about because my mind made me believe that truth is only found from greater minds and I must seek outside. Once I learned that that wasn’t the case I became fearful of seeking on my own. She must have sense my unease because she touched my heart and said, “breathe baby breathe”. I inhaled a ball of understanding and then it clicked. My body started to feel lighter and the emptiness converted into love. I started to have emotions of excitement and thoughts of oneness. I heard the words in my spirit say, “yes, truth is what you hear from greater minds, your great mind. You are a great mind just like all other beings in this world. That is the beauty in going within, because when you go within, real truth is revealed. You do not have to search outside because you are born with truth”. My body continued to lay in stillness as I became extremely grateful because I found the answer. TRUTH COMES FROM WITHIN! As I laid with my eyes closed, a smile blossomed from my lips. I started feeling complete. I slowly opened my eyes and she was starring at me with her eyes and said, “Truth comes from the breath, because when you consciously connect your breath with oneness, you then can activate your chakras and allow the divine to shed wisdom, your wisdom. So, breathe baby breathe. =)
