Use this process to see how trusting you are of the universe. When you can trust, you can surrender yourself to the delights of the cosmos.

Take a full breath in and release it.   Note if the breath going out is shorter than the breath taken in.

If it is, then it shows that somewhere along the way you have lost faith in life, maybe as a child experiencing disappointment, shock or criticism.

The subconscious eventually learns never to trust the universe to supply the next breath, so a tendency develops to grab the next incoming breath quickly - just in case the universe forgets.

This is a life-enhancing technique that increases the purity of the blood through breath. It can be practised at any time, anywhere and incorporates all the rainbow colours of brilliance into the system. Before starting, focus on a clear quartz crystal or a diamond - or even a glass of water - to encourage the brilliance to penetrate the psyche.

1.  Sitting or lying down with the shoulders and relaxed, fill your lungs with a full breath and hold it for as long as you can.

2. Holding the breath, slowly count from one upwards and see how far you can go before you have to release the breath

3. Repeat the exercise three times in a row and arrive at your maximum number. The desired count to reach is 50, when your system will be fully energised. Do not despair if you only attain a low number. It just shows you need to work with the process.

Practice the technique once a day and continue for life, so that you are constantly recharging yourself with life’s supreme, brilliant balance.

Colour breathing techniques can infuse you with new life and vigour.

Breath if the vital force that sustains life. The very air we breathe is full of brilliant light and colors. To practice color breathing in a deep, rhythmic way, visualize the color rays coming from the sun’s life force. While absorbing large quantities of pure air raise our bodily vibrations, which in turn encourages vitality and a healthy mind and body. Color breathing has been used successfully for centuries for health and healing and for the purpose of support in our daily activities.

When practicing the following techniques always remember to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Cosmic Purple Breath

This breathing technique will allow you to go walkabout into the universe. It is a splendid way of harnessing life’s energy force of breath to move you into the celestial realms. This process of breath control encourages you with each expansion and contraction to move more fully into this life, allowing you to stay in the moment.

Stage One; In Breath

1.    Lie down and focus on your own natural breathing, imagining the air filled with violet-purple.

2.    Hold the next in-breath and explore the space where you have stopped. Dare to move into the
U-bend place, if only for a few seconds.

Stage Two: Out Breath

3.    Release your breath and on completion of expelling the air, wait in this place of turning around to see where it leads you, before you fill your lungs again.

As we enter the New Year wondering what life has in store for us – will it be a better year? – have my troubles ended? We sometimes feel disillusionment about our way forward.

Francis Fenelon wrote: “Do not think of disillusionment as a sad thing, we think this state is terrible – we are mistaken. It is there that we find peace and liberty.”

It is important for our spiritual growth to let go of the past and live in the present. A man called Anon once said: “living in yesterday is a cancelled cheque – tomorrow is a promissory note and today is cash in hand, spend it wisely.”

The New Year is a good time to let go of the past to be able to move forward. There is an affirmation you can say to do this.

“My intention is to forgive everyone in my past, and to thank them for the wisdom and the knowledge that I now have. I cannot know the full purpose and implication of all the experiences at this time, but I place my trust in the greater plan for this planet and my role within it. I am letting go of the past now, releasing negativity from my cellulary memory and moving forward taking only the positive knowledge, wisdom and experience, which I will use for the highest good of all concerned, my new way of being. I am now free and detached from old negative thought patterns, and able to view the past with unconditional love.”

There is a need to move forward with only positive thoughts.

There is also another way which is called “The Sacred Rite”. This is used for releasing anger, hurt and emotions through the written word. This is also a therapeutic method of clearing mind, body and spirit.

Write a letter to the individual or parties concerned (for your eyes only – not to be given too them or even posted. ) Fully express your innermost feelings, explaining why you are hurt, angry and distraught and so on. Write only your true feelings, not seeking revenge. When you have finished, set up your sacred rite, burning the letter in a heat resistant dish or open fire. As the letter burns, visualise your mind and body purified by the release of these emotions, stating your desire to move forward in your life – Give Thanks.

Harbouring thoughts of revenge and bearing grudges anchor us firmly in the past, clouding our visions of the future. To move on, these thought patterns will eventually have to be released.

So start the New Year by letting go and allow yourself to be free to move on - bringing in an inner calm and knowing that the future will be brighter.

Happy New Year to everyone. May your New Year bring you happiness and joy.
