WHY I AM WRITING A SERIES OF ARTICLES ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING AND CONSCIOUS BREATHING

My mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’.  They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.  (John Lennon) Writing about the potential of conscious breathing and the ability to shift one’s thoughts to the positive makes me feel alive. It gives me great joy to write this article as 2016 is coming to a close, as a wish for the new year.As expressed in the name...

THE BREATHING SESSION

The breathing session is an appointment with yourself, to get to know yourself better on all levels of your being. The session marks the opening of a door that can only be opened through an enhanced supply of oxygen to the body.

INTENTION

  Intention is attention in action, it means focusing to create the option of choice, which life has given us. Choice is also known as free will. This option always exists. Intention is defined in our innermost soul. We feel it because our system sends signals of change while aligning itself. The truer we are to our intention, and the more genuine we are in life. It is essential to feel that the body is comfortable and “urges you forward,” overcoming fear and doubts. We walk the personal, unique and unrepeatable preferential track. The signs we feel in this...
