Yesterday I watched my Mom's life force leave her body. I am grateful and honored to have had the privilege of holding her hand through her passage from this world into the next. It made me think of meditation and deep breathing. She took the deepest, most profound breathes I've ever witnessed. Each time, the inhalations became shorter, and the exhalation longer. Then finally, I watched her spirit leave her body, it became clear to me that the breath IS the life force. Its what propels you, drives you, makes you alive. You can not exist without it.
Your body is housing for your soul. And when it becomes decayed and incapable of holding that energy, that spirit fights to break free. It drives itself out into space, out from the limited walls of a body into the openness of space. It disseminates its particles everywhere, a room, the sky, the universe. Then all at once, it is one with everything, everyone, all of time and space.
I watched with a mixture of emotions; relief, gratitude, love, sadness, peace, and neutrality- all at once. There was no fear- we both knew what was happening; her body was making its final transition. I was her escort until the source from whence she came took her the rest of the way.
Later, after my Mom's passing, my daughter Jessica and I witnessed a miracle. We were outside and we saw grey clouds lining the sky- except for one spot above us. This patch of blue sky had white clouds, however, there was something unique sitting in the middle. There were two perfectly straight lines of clouds shaped to form a cross. How do you explain that? Mom is still all around us and always will be.
So I encourage all of you to breath! Do your meditation and keep your bodies healthy so you can use your life force to achieve your goals, love and appreciate your babies, your spouses, your friends and your community. Be alive! Forget the worries, they only makes you sick. Think positive thoughts, fill your heart with joy and use your mind to its fullest potential-then see how high you can soar. Know that the universe has a plan for you because it can not exist without you. You are it and it is you!!!!
