The Mindfulness Book & Six-Second Solutions

Sacred Breathing is taken by inhaling and letting Spirit expand our consciousness, pausing for a moment to let it pool up and then letting the Spirit breath flow out into the world. - The Mindfulness Book

Do this by setting an intention to take a Spirit Breath, followed by taking a long, slow, deep breath with this intention in mind. The result will be an almost immediate shift in your state of mind and the way you feel.

The Mindfulness Book

This book is loaded with strategies for doing something I recommend all the time - pausing throughout the day, to make it more mindful or more sacred. I love, too, that you can try his suggestions immediately, as you read them.

Breathe me and be me. Fill my lungs with Spirit. - The Mindfulness Book

I might modify that last part to say something like, fill my lungs with the divine mother and my goddess self. So, see, you could personalize it and make it more meaningful.

By rhe way, imagine using this or other six-second techniques when you've just been triggered by someone you love. Or you're about to have a challenging conversation.

The spirit-filled breath you just took exhales into the room you're in, with the other person. Into the moment, whatever it is.
​

Peace, be still

Love, joy, peace

Healing

Compassion

Forgiveness

He suggests using words and phrases that we consider sacred, or that reflect our intention, what we want or need at the time, or want to give. Then, you could pause to see what your inner goddess might want to add to the moment.

Other Six-Second Solutions

There are so many other good ideas in this book that I'm thinking about getting a physical copy, so I can use sticky notes to bookmark the pages.
​

Another technique I liked from the book was the suggestion to use mantras once an hour to shift your consciousness. Examples...

the divine mother and I are one.
my sacred self and I are one.
I'm handing this over to Spirit.
I am divine presence.
God is holding my hand right now.
I'm shifting this experience with my Spirit Breath.
I remember who I am now.
this (grocery store line, bumper-to-bumper traffic, full waiting room) is a sacred gathering.

Except for my parenthetical insertions, that last one was a direct quote. The others were inspired by him, but personalized and altered by me.

Another great suggestion was to use physical objects to remind us to connect spiritually or initiate a shift in consciousness. I carry a crystal (obsidian) in my pocket almost all the time, but hadn't thought to pair it with a specific intention.

A question he suggested for difficult experiences that might represent traumas we are repeating is, how can I let go of this pattern? He reassures us that eventually, the answer will come to us.

In many ways, these solutions are quick strategies for making any experience sacred, and for living a more sacred and mindful life, in general.

I loved almost everything about this book! I wish I'd written it myself. :)

It wasn't very expensive and will be worth whatever you pay for it. I highly recommend it!

Does it interest you?

See you next time!
