			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Human-Universe-11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-326" title="Human Universe 1" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Human-Universe-11-150x150.jpg" alt="Human Universe 1" width="150" height="150" /></a>It would only be logical to begin at the beginning…but there is no beginning.  You are an infinite being, a conscious part of the same energy that created everyone and everything known and unknown in the entire universe.  As such, you have no beginning and no end…you are forever.</p>
<p>Not only are you part of everything and everyone, you are also everywhere.  In fact, the person that you see in the mirror is not the real you, but a conduit for the expression of you into our shared time-space experience.</p>
<p>For this reason, your cells are of great importance.  Not only do they make up every part of your material body and sustain its health, but their outer layer (membrane) has many tiny receptors specifically tuned to your energetic vibration so that your essence can be transmitted into the life of the world.  In a manner similar to the way radio stations are tuned to specific signals, your cells are tuned to your nonphysical energy which is always being broadcast throughout the entire universe.</p>
<p>While the cells of your material body are always receiving and transmitting your essential energy, thoughts which arise from your focus in the material world are also transmitted to and through every cell in your body.  If those thoughts are in harmony with your core knowledge, there is harmony between you and your physical form, and you feel joyful or loving.  If not, those thoughts create resistance which you feel as many different degrees of disharmony – from excited and hopeful all the way down to desperation and depression.</p>
<p>In addition to the vibratory information which your cells receive from you and your thoughts, cells also receive information from the many tiny particles which create their physical environment.  Just like with harmonic thoughts, the more optimal your physical environment, the more accurately your physical form expresses your real self.</p>
<p>Because you project through a single organism into this reality, it appears to your senses that you are separate from everything else.  However, you are actually part of everything, everything is part of you, and you are co-creating this reality.  For that reason, it never benefits you to harm any person (including yourself), to hold a grudge, speak or even think disparagingly about anyone or anything.</p>
<p>You have chosen to project through a material body into this time-space reality in order to experience the physical sensation of joy, and you will experience much more joy when you choose thoughts, nutrients and environment with awareness and gratitude.</p>
<p>Being conscious gives you the ability to recognize what steps to take in order to regain and strengthen the connection with your true self as you journey through this lifetime.  Using feeling as your guide, you will be able to choose thought patterns and material nutrients which serve not only you, but all of humanity for this and future generations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Deep-Breath-21.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Deep-Breath-21.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-504 alignleft" title="Deep Breath 2" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Deep-Breath-21-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="134" height="112" /></a>When dealing with anger, depression, fear, stress or anxiety, it&#8217;s important to get ourselves to a good place before saying or doing anything that we may regret.  Once we can attain a calm mind and deep breath, the words and actions we choose will be much more productive.</p>
<p>The key is to stay present with our thoughts.  When we notice a negative emotion, we can stop what we are doing, and immediately focus awareness on the breath.</p>
<p>From there, we can slow and deepen the breath.   To do this, keep the lips together, face relaxed, and breathe deeply and lightly through the nose, all the way to the bottom of the abdomen.  Think about the breath filling from your pelvic floor, upward.  After the abdomen expands fully, allow the breath to move up the sides of the spine and into the chest.  On the exhale, release the breath from the chest first, then down the sides of the spine, and finally release it from the abdomen, contracting the abdominal muscles gently to get the last little breath of  air out.</p>
<p>After about three breaths, the mind should be more focused.  Now, while continuing this way of breathing, allow the mind to identify any tension in the body and gently release it.  This may take one to thirty more breaths.  Do this until you feel relieved of mental stress and muscular contraction.</p>
<p>From this perspective you can return to the issue at hand and make the decisions that best serve you.  Remember, EVERYTHING is easier with a calm mind and deep breath.</p>
