Hi,
My name is Tania Castiglio and I would like to share with you how I live and celebrate Christmas from within all year round.
For this,
I will invite you on a conscious breath journey,
Which I call the breath of is-ness.
Please find a very comfortable,
Quiet place where you feel at ease and where you can relax and let go.
Please sit comfortably or lie belly up and please use ear or headphones in order to enhance this experience.
The only thing to do is inhale and exhale always through your nose,
Not forcing your breath in any way and allowing this breath to expand in its own way and at its own rhythm.
The breath will gradually fill your whole body as your belly fills with each inhale and recedes with each exhale.
Please close your eyes.
Make sure that you are very comfortable.
Inhale and exhale deeply,
Softly,
Always breathing through your nose.
Become fully aware of your breath and focus on its in-going journey and its out-going journey.
Just diving into it as you inhale deeply and softly.
Feel the breath gently filling your body with its lightness.
Allow this lightness to relieve any burdens you may be feeling at the moment,
To release the emotions and to gradually quieten your mind as you are fully focused only on your breath.
As you inhale and fill your belly,
Focus on the exact center of your body,
Slightly below your navel,
Generally called your gravity center.
Just feel it and trust your knowingness of this space.
As you allow yourself to stay in this space in your center,
Just fall back,
Back into you.
Relieved,
Comforted,
Embraced.
Feel the gentleness,
The gentleness in this space.
The sweet gentleness of your essence,
The all in all within you.
Breathing deeply and softly through your nose.
Slowly expanding and receding,
One breath at a time.
Feel the safety of having a firm anchor within you that is kind,
Loving,
Compassionate,
Gentle.
Allow this gentleness to fill you from head to toe.
Receive it.
Acknowledge it.
Accept it.
Notice,
Dear one,
In this safe space within you,
There are no battles to fight,
Nothing to push against.
There is a simple flow.
The flow of existence beyond duality.
In this pure precious moment,
In the loving arms of your breath,
The invitation is simply to stay,
Receive,
Allow the simple flow of existence.
To fill you and fulfill you.
Gently.
This is the birthing of Christ within you,
Of peace beyond borders,
Of unconditional love.
Keep it alive in each breath.
Allow it to thrive and stay blessed with the spirit of Christmas each and every single moment.
And so it is.
Keep on breathing deeply and softly,
Getting ready to open your eyes in your own time as you gradually feel your solid body,
Your home,
Here and now.
Thank you.
