We Are All Walking Each Other Home - World Breathing Day

For information on Therapeutic Breathwork and training opportunities go to: https://transformationsusa.com or inquire at info@transformationsusa.com Jim also shares a link to the playlists of many of his videos on breathwork and integrative psychology:

Jim Morningstar pays homage to Ram Das on World Breathing Day by sharing a meditation on love by this revered spiritual teacher. The theme of this day is "Breathe Peace" and Jim explains how living the example of Ram Das is a road to the peace that is not a static state, but learning to flow with the ever changing cosmic inhale and exhale, to release judgments which are the root of suffering and to surrender to the universal love we are. Jim further leads a Circular Breathing guided visualization that creates a cocoon of safety around your body and opens the doors of your heart to hear your guides and Guidance more clearly. He then invites us to extend our circle of safety and peace to the entire planet as we embrace it in our breath and intention. He invites us to practice this Circular Breathing daily and to teach it to others.

Shine your light upon the earth. You are a divine being in human form and miracles are possible through your life.
