Our breath is something we are rarely consciously engaged with. The continuous motion of breathing out followed by breathing in that just seems to happen, leaves very little need for our conscious involvement and it would be relatively easy to miss “the pause” that is pure potentiality, in amongst all this breathing. But we could choose to bring our awareness to this incredible friend that emerges from within us so instinctively and so naturally and seek to discover the peace that surely resides in the space that is “the pause”.

Breathe in, breathe out, pause…. breathe in, breathe out, pause…. breathe in, breathe out, pause….

The ”pause” emerges from the release (death) of the out breath.

Within it you wait effortlessly, gently and softly until….

The beginning(birth) of the in breath emerges from the “pause”.

There is an incredible book by Wayne Dyer called Inspiration, which I highly recommend if yours is the journey in to spirit. At the end of the book he recounts an incredible and inspiring afternoon when a butterfly landed on his finger and remained there for a number of hours. He was actually able to return to his hotel with the butterfly which stayed on his finger the whole time, pop it on to his desk when he got in to his room so he could take a shower. He then called his agent, who came over to the hotel and took a photograph of him with this butterfly that had obligingly got back on Wayne’s finger, to do so! Throughout this whole encounter Wayne was clearly filled with a sense of wander and awe at what was unfolding in front of him and he was able to really connect with what was happening to him every moment that that butterfly kept him present. Throughout he remained totally committed to the power of inspiration that was being presented to him. Incredible.

A while ago I too had a butterfly encounter but it didn’t quite unfold in the way that Wayne Dyer’s did.

Huh? WDDTY? - Yes it stands for “What Doctors Don’t Tell You”

What’s that all about? - ”WDDTY” is a journal that uncovers the hard-to-get facts about health and the causes of illness.

What sort of facts are those then? - “Real” information on conditions such as diabetes, asthma, colitis, cancer and arthritis plus loads upon loads of health advice. Check out the section on drugs and side effects.

How do I find out more? www.wddty.com - Challenging convention - Empowering Health Decisions. It sure sounds good to me!
