Breath…the Ultimate Gear Shift

Consider your breath being the ultimate gear shifter.

Whether moving full force in any direction—forward toward what is wanted or in reverse toward something unwanted—the breath allows the momentum in any direction to shift to neutral.

Softening the hard plunge in either direction, you will begin floating, no longer adding the accelerant to the flame of option.

No matter the direction, the breath will disengage like a gear shifter in your automobile, allowing you to correct course—or at least determine your best course of action—by pulling off to the shoulder and studying your map of guidance to make sure it is set for where you think you want to go.

Feeling into your set guidance and checking often gives you clear direction.

It’s as if you’re on course and you think you know exactly where you’re headed, but many options appear that may not yet be mapped out in your internal GPS.

You’re heading in directions and toward destinations that few, if any, have traveled—so the routes appear only when encountered.

In these cases, take a breath. Pull over—figuratively as well as emotionally—allowing your guidance route to recalculate.

Wait for the inspired next step or route to appear before continuing on your way.

This may seem counterintuitive, but it is productive on all fronts of your life.

You will encounter everything on your physical trail that you desire, while tending to your emotional fire.

They are your guidance, and your breath is the mechanical operating system—as well as the fuel for momentum.

Use it to your benefit. It is so much more than the way of filling your lungs.

Trust it. Trust your guidance. It is given by Source—by God—for that purpose of your guidance.

It is the transmission, the fuel, and the indicator of your physical vehicle.
