Integration into Bliss

The path of ultimate health can take many forms. For some people it unfolds very easily, for others it takes tremendous effort and discipline. And for all of us it takes awareness and diligence.
Integration means to accept what was made wrong to be “what is”.
Integration into bliss is reclaiming our right to feel ecstasy in the physical body just by being in it. It may take some reprogramming of habits and some mind purification but it is possible! Go for the highest goal; why just feel good in your body. Go for bliss! And if you don’t think it’s possible perhaps you could consider changing that thought.
Bellow are some suggestions on staying connected to higher energies like Joy, Peace, Clarity, Certainty, Love, etc…

Movement: Physical body was made to move. Whether you enjoy a sport, walking by yourself, or dancing it is import to move and remove any stagnate energies and to promote a self detox by keeping the lymphatic system in motion. Also, exercise releases chemicals from the brain such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and endorphins, known to have strong effects on mood, helping reduce feelings of anxiety, stress and depression, while also helping to strengthen your immune system. Try new things until you find something you love to do and don’t give up! I like Yoga and bicycling.

Breath: Breath is the link between the physical and the non physical. If you don’t believe in the non physical spiritual realm you can use the breath to experience a state of non duality. In my opinion the most powerful breathing technique is conscious connected breathing done with support and I also use different breathing techniques before meditation. The idea is to create a relationship with the breath.  Use the breath as an ally or a tool to move through uncomfortable feelings, increase pleasurable feelings, become aware of self sabotage behaviors, and to deepen connection to Source.

Bodywork: We need each other! Hands on healing are essential. As we move through deep seated thought system and suppressed emotions the physical body may go through a phase of adjusting and/or integration and in that pain maybe an issue. Working with a body worker can speed up the process of release and for certain it supports the body in integrating higher vibrations and new thoughts. It is nurturing to allow others to help us, and it is an act of high self-esteem. So many wonderful healers out there! I recommend Rolfing, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Thai Massage or any kind of massage that you enjoy. Ask the Divine to guide you to the right healer for you.

Reading from Sacred Texts: Any book that speaks to your heart will become sacred to you. Drink from it everyday if possible. Read one paragraph, perhaps one page in the morning and allow it to infuse your mind with knowledge without “trying” to get it. Look for books that carry pure eternal universal truths. It can also be poetry that invokes Divine Love like Rumi's. Some books I enjoy are Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, A Course in Miracles, The Upanishads, some translations of the Tao Te Ching.
Verses 6, 7 & 8 of Isha Upanishad:
Whoever sees all beings in the soul and the soul in all beings...
What delusion or sorrow is there for one who sees unity?
It has filled all. It is radiant, incorporeal, invulnerable...
Wise, intelligent, encompassing, self-existent,
It organizes objects throughout eternity.

Knowledge and Humility (Tao Te Ching)

Knowing others is wisdom;
Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self requires strength;
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Perseverance is a sign of will power.
He who stays where he is endures.
To die but not to perish is to be eternally present.

Support and Feed back:When you ask for support, you are affirming to the Universe you are ready to receive. If you don’t get the support needed, this can be the perfect time to release blocks to receiving. Consciously practicing asking and receiving will put you naturally in a state of worthiness, which then will lead you to giving freely. In addition, asking for feed back is an act of humbleness. Asking for feed back from those you respect is about going for Excellence, continuing improving what was not in alignment with your greatness.

Commitment: Genuine, honest commitment attracts support from the visible and the non visible

Diet: Consciousness around what you eat and how you eat promotes better digestion, improving well being and your ability to discern what works for you

Meditation and Prayers: Meditation is very simple when you don’t try to stop the monkey mind. Meditation is about remembering. Sit and be. Praying is honoring the Divine and it is and invocation for assistance. All the help we need is here now we just have to ask.

Getting out of your comfort zone: Be outrageous!  Do something that you have never done before and watch your level of aliveness increase.

“I recommend breathwork to almost all patients that I see. There is really nothing that is out of range of this technique.  Wherever you have nerves in your body, which is everywhere, you have the possibility of improving function by using breath as a technique of harmonizing the function of the nervous system.  I’m impressed by the power of breath and its ability to correct specific health problems and promote our general wellness. I feel very strongly that proper breathing is a master key to good health.”
