Okay, I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record about this breathwork, but what can I say? It just gets better and better. I'm on my third kit (Petal Breaths are the their real names), which is Serenity and designed to awaken conviction and dissolve what ifs (you know those questions that circle around in your head and can basically make you nuts?!?!) and it also focuses on forgiveness.
Here's what I'm noticing ...my little sweetheart wiener dog Rex recently started having some bladder control issues and an abnormal urinalysis. The vet suggested another test and said that it could be a kidney issue, which normally would have started me big time down a path of what ifs and a flurry of internet research, the result being that I would scare myself senseless with projection. In this case, I noticed that my reaction was a "wait and see attitude" and a trusting that the universe, as Byron Katie says, is benevolent. This, too me, seems to be a much kinder way to live...with trust and surrender. It's also much less exhausting than going crazy in my mind with the possibilities. And, I absolutely attribute this change to the breathing...particularly because I am acting/thinking counter to how I've been my whole life. What a freedom to live this way.
P.S. The vet just called and the second test was perfect...no kidney issues. There's still something going on with the little guy because he's unable to hold it in the house while I'm gone but at least we know the kidneys are fine. And, again, I realize that grace is all around me and the universe truly is kind.
