Breath of Light     Chakra breathing for renewed health and well being

The evolution of the Breath of Light for me personally began in Reiki sessions
with clients 4 years ago. I received guidance to give the client recommendations
for special breathing techniques through their chakras to assist with energy movement.

One woman, when I saw her energy field, had a huge black energetic spider that was completely
covering her heart chakra and much of her chest. She had physical heart problems and a constant
weight in the area. In this session, I received guidance for a breath pattern to release the energy
blocking her heart. As she did the breathing, through the front of her heart chakra and out the back, I
saw the black spider getting smaller. It was being pulled through the energetic system and out of her
back. As the last of the blackness was pulled through and released from her body, a bright pink energy
began opening the heart and she spontaneously went into ecstatic, joyful laughter. Her whole body’s
vibration changed. She said it changed her life.

There were many instances where I received Breath of Light guidance for my Reiki clients. Breathing
down through the spine allowed clients’ vertebrae to pop, often when the area had been very stuck
before. Muscular tension released. Obsessive thought patterns cleared. Old emotional grief left the
body. Posture improved. Heart palpitations and asthma symptoms disappeared.

Then the shift occurred when I received the guidance that the work I did would change. I was not to
work with my hands on people anymore. I was to listen to guidance,  perceive the clients energy field
and energetic patterns in their body, and teach them HOW TO CLEAR THEMSELVES with simply their
breath.

As I became more sensitive, I noticed when I breathed normally, now, energy/air  was being pulled in
through my chakras. On the exhale energy came back out. I was breathing through my chakras
whether or not I was consciously aware of it. I believe we all are, and in focusing one’s intention on
moving the breath through the chakras in different ways, the clogged energy centers will clear and
good health will follow.

The Breath of Light breathing patterns beautifully combine the physical with the spiritual. Many people
feel a sense of joy, of lightening, of feeling very clear as you proceed through the patterns. Wonderful
healings of the physical body have occurred with the Breath of Light. It is very beneficial for relaxation
in childbirth, and excellent for children.
