The New Year is upon us! Are your resolutions and goals bringing you life, love, and purpose? Or are you swamped by self-imposed obligations that feel more like chores? However you are feeling today, the most important thing you can do is remember to breathe.

This week Lisa Tunney and I co-taught the first class in a new series called Inviting Change. The first session focused on Breathing in Life. It was inspired by the message I received from Spirit last summer: “If you will just breathe, it will come to you. You don’t need to pull it toward you … that’s working too hard. This is a time when you must embrace the grace of every moment and express your gratitude for what is now.”

That simple download from Spirit had a profound effect on me. It got me thinking about my breath, and the power of breathing, in a whole new way. As Lisa noted in the class, we breathe automatically, and so we are not paying attention to our breath. If we want to take full advantage of our alignment with the Earth and the Universe, she said, we have to breathe consciously.

I’ll definitely be practicing my conscious breathing tonight on “Out of the Fog” … it’s an open lines show on Transformation Talk Radio! We’re live at 6 pm Eastern / 3 pm Pacific, and you can call 800-930-2819 or 401-322-9091 to get a reading. I’ll also be taking questions from the Instant Feedback chat box at TransformationTalkRadio.com.

If you’d like to guarantee yourself a reading, grab the last spot in this Saturday’s Out of the Fog Salon. You can also sign up for the next Salon on 2/23.

Here’s a resolution for today: Stop what you’re doing. Take three mindful breaths. Better now?
