A Big Conscious Breath

Many years ago I took a ride at an amusement park. It was the one that whirls around so fast that centrifugal force holds you on while the bottom falls out. I began to panic as it whirled faster and faster, screaming "Stop, Please Stop!" My friend next to me finally said, "JARL BREATHE!" I took a big deep breath and Voila! I was fine. Relaxed! On this ride called life, it's amazing what a big conscious breath can do. It always works for me.

About Me

Sausalito, California, United States
My purpose and vision is to live an authentically responsible life in alignment with my True Self, joyfully expressing my creative nature, nurturing and fostering a heart alive with wonder and awe. Meditation, tai chi, self-inquiry, reflection, therapy, and an extensive reading of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, have helped me to develop a serious commitment to living in the moment in peace and joy. Through my persistent questioning regarding troublesome aspects of my own life, I have cultivated effective techniques to guide myself in learning how to recognize, examine and transform the beliefs I hold that cause suffering in my life. Love, gratitude, and surrender to what is, is the key to living a life in flow.
