WHY QUALITY MATTERS MORE THAN QUANTITY

Consciously working with my breathing has taught me a lot. One of the most important lessons I have learned along the way is that quality matters much more than quantity.

At the start of my journey I was extremely ambitious. I would do every practice with maximal effort. I would measure my progress by counting my breaths. I would stuff my practices with lots of different techniques. I hated the idea of missing one single day of practice. I thought that this was the mindset needed to move into the direction of my goals. I was completely focused on the quantitative aspect of practice.

Later I came to realize this ambition was not necessarily driven by a healthy desire for growth - it was fueled by a fear of being left behind. I always used to feel like I was trying to catch up. I had a conviction that once I would control my breathing to the most subtle detail, I would be able to relax and enjoy life.

Over time my perspective shifted and I started to understand the importance of the qualitative aspects of practice. I realized that being so heavily focused on quantity was actually blocking the quality of my breathing. I put so much pressure on myself which made my body tense, my breathing restricted and my nervous system on edge.

Nowadays, the way I measure my progress is much more qualitative. Instead of focusing so much on many different practices or counting every single breath, I focus more on the quality of my breathing.

Do I breathe with more ease?
Is my nervous system able to settle?
Do I feel more peace and calmness during and after the practice?

And the irony...
.. focusing on the quality of breathing actually takes care of the quantitative aspect as well. I believe this is a much more sustainable way of practicing.

I am currently conducting research into the challenges, frustrations, fears and desires people have with regards to their breathing. I am looking to speak to people who are dealing with restricted and unconscious breathing habits related to stress, anxiety or trauma and who want to use breathing methods to learn to regulate their nervous system, increase their emotional resilience and strengthen their spiritual alignment.

If you resonate with the description above, I would love to hear your story!

A TOOL FOR HARMONY OR A SOURCE OF IMBALANCE

Our breathing is a powerful tool we can use to activate our life force and enhance our vitality. However, it can also be a source of tremendous imbalance and disharmony.

It is not the tool itself that determines whether it is beneficial or detrimental, it is the consciousness that applies it. Ultimately, we are responsible for the outcome of the choices we make.

It is the same with our breathing and increasing our awareness is the key.

When we properly understand the way the breathing process works, we can make more empowered decisions about how to work with it. We can start to correct the imbalances that we have created and bring back harmony into our being. We can return to the natural rhythm.

The Fundamental Elements of Breathing is created to give you a balanced understand of our breathing. You will learn how different types of breathing techniques and methods affect your physiology, nervous system and subtle energy system.

CALMING THE MIND TO LIBERATE THE SPIRIT

Intention is a powerful thing. It can either be directed towards creative expression or it can cause tremendous destruction. Yet, how many of us are truly conscious of the intentions that motivate our actions?

An important aspect of alchemical practices is learning to direct our intentions consciously. First, however, we must become aware of the intentions that our minds currently hold. Both the ones we are conscious of, but even more so the ones we are not yet aware of.

See, the mind has two modes of operating. It can either use attention or intention. The first is the Yin aspect of mind, while the other is Yang. When the mind uses intention, it causes us to guide something, either consciously or unconsciously.

For example, when we encounter great stress in our lives, it causes a change to our breathing. Our breathing speeds up and becomes shallow. Over time this will negatively affect our health. In this case, the restless quality of the mind creates a physiological change.

These unconscious patterns of intent influence us in ways we do not clearly perceive. To perceive more clearly we must move away from intention. We must develop the ability to observe ourselves without meddling too much. We must simply be attentive.

See, we have not been taught how to consciously direct our minds. Most of us have learned to use force. This is exactly what society teaches us. However, this use of force creates too much tension in our system, which ends up wearing down our spirit.

Our energy system is quite delicate. When we use force, something inside of us hardens. It prevents our body from being able to breathe. It blocks our life force and diminishes our vitality.

It is our responsibility to stay soft internally. This does not mean we become weak. It means that, even though we maintain a strong and stable structure, we remain open and flexible inside. We allow energy to move within us without trying to control or direct it.

There is an aspect of surrender to this entire process which cannot be created or directed. It simply happens when the time is right. Whenever that seed is ready to sprout. However, we can to some extent create the right conditions for this blossoming.

This is an aspect of alchemical practice that is often overlooked. It is common in our Western society to work with our intention, which is great for the movement of energy and the process of creation. However, that masculine energy must be balanced by the feminine. The attentive, non-governing quality of the mind is nurturing and helps to build the vitality of our system.

THE CULTIVATION OF TRUE POWER

A wise man once said that true power does not lie in the moment when lightening strikes. This is its physical manifestation. The consequence of power. This is what we perceive as power. Yet, true power lies in the moment right before the lightening strikes.

This means that our true power does not lie in any physical action. It lies in those moments right before we take them. Ultimately, it comes down to the impulses that govern our choices. How conscious are we of those choices?

Many people live their lives habitually. Unaware of why they do what they do. Clueless of the forces that motivate their actions. They do not question what drives them. They do not wonder where these impulses originate.

The more we become conscious of the impulses that arise within us, the more we gain power over our destiny. Instead of falling prey to a force that controls us, we can learn to harness its power. We can direct this power to evermore uplifting and beneficial purposes.

We have a tremendous amount of power. It is often our minds that are weak. It is the mind that convinces us to choose comfort over responsibility.

This is where the true spiritual path begins. At this crossroad we must make a simple choice. Do we choose to take on the responsibility of cultivating our awareness? Can we observe the quality of our thoughts, words and actions? Can we look at these aspects of our being objectively and honestly in every moment?

Asking ourselves the question: “Is my life in service of the highest expression?”

Like most truths, it is simple, yet it is far from easy. It requires the desire to cultivate true discipline. Not because of some external demand, but motivated by an internal sense of duty and responsibility. This is the road to freedom.

THE RIGHT RHYTHM

The power of our breath lies in the fact that it gives us the ability to anchor our awareness. It gives us the opportunity to rest the mind inside the body. Not through an act of doing, but by simply giving our unwavering attention to the process of breathing.

This quality of non-judgemental observation is very nurturing. Applying it to our breathing will gradually bring the right rhythm into our being.

As more structure comes into our breathing, it will then be reflected in our heart. Our heartbeat slows down, our blood pressure decreases, which will calm our emotional life.

Eventually, it leads to enough stability in our physical, energetic and emotional layers, which is essential for deeper work with our mind. The mind is the final frontier in all of the major alchemical traditions.

However, it does not start there.

It is difficult to work with the mind when our physical body is not at ease, our vital life force is under- or overactive and our emotional life is disturbed.

We can start to balance these aspects of our being by applying the gift of our awareness to our breathing.

ALIGNING YOUR BREATHING TO THE NATURAL CYCLES

Everything in nature happens in cycles. Some cycles are big and others are small.

Ancient cultures believed that the human being is a microcosm of the Universe. Meaning, the same cycles that occur in the Universe, also take place within us.

One of these cycles within the human being is our breathing. By studying our breathing we can learn to understand our place within this Universe. We can bring balance and harmony to the inherent polarities in our reality.
