If you’ve never meditated before then congratulations, you just did! It’s exactly that simple. There are many benefits to proper breathing. The extra oxygen in your system means that your heart doesn’t have to beat as fast, lowering your pulse and your blood pressure. Drawingrepparttar breath down into your center also helps to massage your internal organs, providing more oxygen to them as well as helping to releaserepparttar 138569 accumulated stresses that build up there. The long term health benefits are immeasurable and have been repeatedly proven for thousands of years. Breathing is by farrepparttar 138570 most important part ofrepparttar 138571 kundalini awakening exercises, although it sounds so simple. Paying attention torepparttar 138572 breath isrepparttar 138573 beginning of opening up your awareness and it’s seen in every culture onrepparttar 138574 planet. Take some time to practice this, as it’srepparttar 138575 foundation for everything that comes next. If you have to dedicate your meditation time to breathwork for awhile then that’s good, as we all proceed at our own pace. I recently read a translation of some of Jesus’ teachings fromrepparttar 138576 original Aramaic (the language he actually spoke, although he apparently wasn’t literate) and it was very interesting to me that in Aramaic they usedrepparttar 138577 same word for ‘wind’, ‘breath’ and ‘spirit’. Those with a Chi Kung background might find it interesting to take another look atrepparttar 138578 New Testament and insertrepparttar 138579 word ‘breath’ every time you seerepparttar 138580 word ‘spirit’.

Complete Self Acceptance

It’s alsorepparttar key to havingrepparttar 138568 freedom to accept others exactly as they are. The most important person that you can love is yourself. Have you ever seen someone who gives up their entire lives to help others, yet destroy their own health and welfare inrepparttar 138569 process? Everything is connected and One, which means that anything that you can see, feel or imagine is a part of you also, with allrepparttar 138570 balances apply.

For instance, a person who only takes care of himself, with no regard for others, is no less imbalanced than someone who devotes his entire life to care for others atrepparttar 138571 expense of himself. The key here, once again, isrepparttar 138572 word NEED. It’s all aboutrepparttar 138573 motivation that drives them. Some of those so intent on ‘self-sacrifice’ are driven by ‘need’. They need to help others to make up for their own inadequacies, or to make up forrepparttar 138574 bad things they feel that they’ve done, or whatever other reasons drive them. Yet if they truly accepted themselves then would they feelrepparttar 138575 need to ‘sacrifice’ themselves in order to help others? Wouldn’t they see helping others as an extension of helping themselves, rather than as a way to make themselves feel better about who they are? A balanced person sees helping others as a normal, compassionate thing to do, rather than as something to do to make up for their own lack in some area. It’srepparttar 138576 Law of Reciprocity again, by helping others we help ourselves, by encouraging others to grow we also grow inrepparttar 138577 process. By accepting ourselves exactly as we are, we can also accept others exactly as they are, and that’srepparttar 138578 beginning of unity.
