Insight Course: Lesson Seven

Breathing Love

Page Two of Two

Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, and to those who still love even though they've been hurt.

A second exercise on the Web of Love website is called the charging breath. It's another great tool for opening heart and spirit to the flow of love. Read about and explore the charging breath exercise before coming back.

www.weboflove.org/loveideasexercises - The charging breath

Breath is powerful! For the few people who find the charging breath too intense, simply focusing on slow, full breaths for five minutes while breathing sacred love can have a similar effect. Just make sure that you inhale until your lungs are as full as possible and exhale until they are empty for every breathing cycle.

Using breath in this way opens energetic channels in our bodies that lay dormant most of the time. When we combine breathing the Web of Love with this slow, deep breathing or with the charging breath, the results are phenomenal. We are truly charging ourselves and the entire web of love which connects us to all hearts around the world.

As this is such a simple, yet powerful tool, we invite you to set aside 30 minutes or more now to explore and play with these exercises. Consider sitting quietly while imagining a different person in your life for each new breath as you breathe sacred love with them. See if you can even open to breathing sacred love with people on the list you made in lesson three towards whom you hold blame or judgment.

Breathe love also with members of your family and with our world leaders. Breathe sacred love with others moving through this course who like you are ready to be the change. Allow sacred love to infuse you and flow strongly inside you and out to all around you. This is one powerful way we can be the change we want to see.

To close this lesson, you are invited to listen to the beautiful song "I Choose Love" at the video link below. You might even play with breathing sacred love while watching this inspiring six-minute video. Our sacred love is ever flowing.

Special Note: Unless you are experienced with breathwork, we advise limiting the number of times you do the charging breath to a few times a day and to no more than a minute or two of rapid breathing. Slow, very deep breathing, however, is very safe and can have the same powerfully opening effect. You can safely do slow, full, deep breathing for hours while opening to the deep heart connection we share with all beings through love. You might be surprised at just how delicious this feels!

One of the attributes of love, like art, is to bring harmony and order out of chaos, to introduce meaning and affect where before there was none, to give rhythmic variations, highs and lows to a landscape that was previously flat.  ~  Molly Haskell

Take Action: Suggested Activities to Be the Change

  • Make breathing sacred love a part of your daily life. When you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night, take time to breathe sacred love. Do the same periodically throughout the day. Don't forget to breathe love with groups and communities in which you are involved and with our world leaders. Consider breathing sacred love with all beings in the universe.
  • Explore breathing love with yourself in the future. You can do this by simply imagining yourself at some point in the future and breathing sacred love in and out. Once you've been doing this a while, you can feel the love sent to yourself from the past at any time. You can especially send love to yourself in times of difficulty in the future. And then when you eventually encounter a big challenge, remember to open to that love you've sent yourself.
  • Remember that there are many thousands around the globe who are breathing sacred love with you all the time. When the going gets tough, open to feeling our collective love channeling support into your heart. And conversely, when you're feeling passionate and excited about life, share that energy by breathing love and passion with us and with all around you.
  • Play with using the charging breath to shift your energy to a more expanded state. Notice when you are feeling a little down or low on energy and see what happens when you expand your breath. Invite others to join you.
  • Consider increasing your awareness of breathing as you move through your day-to-day life. Explore deepening and slowing your breath throughout the day. Inspiration means to breathe in. This inspiring practice can actually cause physiological changes which help you to feel more full and open and experience deeper connections with yourself and those around you. This single shift can cause you to be the change in a most profound way.
