What to do to regulate our emotional life so we can grow? How to expand our consciousness?
The less developed our consciousness is, the more we get caught up in unpleasant emotional states. The more we expand our awareness, our emotional life becomes more balanced so that anger, jealousy, depression and guilt begin to disappear. The energy we once used for those emotions becomes purified and transforms into peace, joy, love and compassion. Let’s transform ourselves.

We all carry fears and we are afraid to examine them, we pretend that they do not exist but this creates insecurities in our daily life.When we take time to examine our life we come to realize that fears create big obstacles that interfere with our progress.
What is the method to clear them and be free?
We must face them and examine them, we will come to realize that most of our fears are not real. It is our responsibility to find our fears and not allow them to grow. The more fears we grow the more we generate disease. Find freedom from fears. Explore yourself and understand who you are.
Be free from fears
Today, I would like to introduce you to the practice of breath meditation. It is a simple technique that will change your life.
Sit comfortably with your spine erect and the whole body relaxed. For a few moments let your awareness and breath join together traveling through your body as you observe the wave of relaxation arising with the breath.
Sit for several minutes observing the breath without trying to change or manipulate the breath. Do not control it; let it come and let it go.
Bring your attention to your torso as you establish diaphragmatic breathing. Observe the expansion and relaxation in your torso. Relax any efforts, let the breath breathe you. Observe thoughts coming and going, without an effort let go of the thoughts and bring yourself back to the breath. Continue focusing on the breath and notice how your breath and your mind become one. With practice, you will notice that the breath becomes so soft, rhythmical, even at the same time that the mind becomes more calm, centered and peaceful .
Enjoy the first steps of the practice of meditation. Practice this method for a few days and see the changes in your life.
Namaste
