I love sharing spiritual tools with you with this blog.
Sometimes it's a poem, mantra, prayer, breath exercise, or affirmation. But each technique is one I’ve tried and tested over the decades and is now part of my box of go-tos. The ones I rely on when I need additional support, assistance or help reconnecting to the truth of myself, which is love.
Today I felt called to share one that I return to again and again. It's a breath I was taught by my guru over twenty years ago called the Chittakash, which is the heart space over the head.
As Ram Dass wrote, “Chittakash is the place where consciousness and love merge, where they become the same thing. It’s where the pure aspects of all qualities come together; a timeless and nameless space where everything is present, where you know everything, but you’re not attached to anything.”
Being in the Chittakash, allows you to remain open hearted yet detached- despite what you may be experiencing. It can offer you a renewed sense of peace and tranquility, regardless of the chaos surrounding you.
It’s really pretty magical in that regard.
The amazing thing about using this breath is that it allows you to be fully present, clear and compassionate while also feeling curiously insulated. Interestingly, it’s not a feeling of being numb or dissociated, but rather a reconnection to a state of grace and flow.
Wanna try it?
If there’s only ONE breath you learn this life, choose this one. It really is that powerful.
Know that you are always divinely protected.
