Deeper.<\/p>\n<p>Breathing is one of the primary mechanisms for discovering what level you engage. For choosing where you engage.<\/p>\n<p>Fast and shallow breathing is a fast and shallow experience of life.<\/p>\n<p>Deep and relaxed breathing is a deep and relaxed experience of life<\/p>\n<p>Another mechanism for engaging with the passing of time is hormonal.<\/p>\n<p>Functioning on adrenaline I am in the &#8220;rush&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is a purpose for adrenaline. To protect and survive.<\/p>\n<p>Not to move you through life.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s meant only for times of emergency<\/p>\n<p>So feeling adrenaline is a message to ask &#8220;am I in an emergency?&#8221; &#8220;Is this a crisis?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If it is a crisis, adrenaline is a gift.<\/p>\n<p>If it is not an emergency, it\u2019s an opportunity to open and let go of fear.<\/p>\n<p>And trust God<\/p>\n<p>From this place I\u2019m astounded at how efficient and on top of things I can be.<\/p>\n<p>When functioning from a true relationship w\/time<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve learned that rushing never gets you current.<\/p>\n<p>Never gets you in the Now. It only gives you the feeling that you should be somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p>Used to believe if something presented itself it automatically required energy\/attention.<\/p>\n<p>Everything in the moment is important, but sometimes the purpose of things arising is to just bless it and move on.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have to explore every connection as far as it will go<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have to go down every path to see what&#8217;s at the end<\/p>\n<p>Especially if it\u2019s someone else&#8217;s path.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s their job, not mine.<\/p>\n<p>I stay on my path, that&#8217;s my only job; it intersects with other people\u2019s and sometimes parallels other&#8217;s, but I am not the explorer of anyone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>I have only my life to live.<\/p>\n<p>My heart can lead the way. My body can move me along the way. And the rest of me can come along for the ride. My mind can be interested in all the things we see. Can identify some of the plants and label the experiences, but the one that really knows The Way is my heart.<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m wondering what to do, where to go. I ask my heart &#8220;In this moment, what is the Truest action?&#8221; &#8220;where is my path&#8230;.now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And I trust the answers.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to remember that there are infinite possibilities for choices of action. Not just one.\u00a0 But where the mind would want to catalog them all and be the one believing it chooses, the heart always knows the way.<\/p>\n<p>The way home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the place where I have a loving relationship with time We are good friends There is something here about many lifetimes An understanding of many lifetimes In many dimensions of time It helps me relax into time as we know it on this Earth I&#8217;ve learned that the only thing rushing accomplishes Is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001002,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-messages-from-spirit","category-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1001002"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25,"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22\/revisions\/25"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messagesfromspirit.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
