The Wakeup Call

Wake up calls come in all shapes and sizes

Wake up calls come in all shapes and sizes. The intensity and frequency required is dependent upon the individual and the particular lesson to be learned. For some it is a "Near Death Experience"; for others it may be a strong emotional or financial crisis. Hopefully we learn from them and require lesser stimulus to get the message.

Not long ago I had a wonderful interview on a radio show. The Host was well informed, intelligent and had a great sense of humor. We ranged through a wide variety of material and I found myself excited, pacing through the house as we touched on some esoteric areas of consciousness and healing.. At the end she thanked me and mentioned a return in the near future. I was a little disappointed that no one ordered my book or contacted me for a session but that did not diminish my enthusiasm for the episode.

Five days later I downloaded the recording of the show and was dismayed at what I heard. Here I was panting so bad it sounded like I was going to have a coronary right in the middle of the show. No wonder no one called. Who in their right mind would entrust themselves to a dying man? The first person I talked to was an old friend who had spent ten years with a major bank, staging training events and presentations around the country. She mentioned that she and her teammates always carried throat lozenges and made sure they were breathing diaphragmatically; from their belly and through their noses. Of course! That was the problem!

Eight years ago I was in one of my rear end whiplash situations and that time debris from a disk was pushed into the dural cavity against the spinal cord. I had dealt with a myriad of issues from that episode but never correlated my diminished breath capacity with that accident. I thought that it was my checkered past catching up to me, when in fact it was the nerve impingement which created a freezing of the diaphragm and my subsequent shallow breathing. Yes my lungs were deteriorating; from disuse, not years of an overload of toxic substances.

All this time I and everyone who worked on me had missed the clues. Now, I had to retrain myself how to breathe. It also made sense to go back to eating according to my body's needs, not my capricious wishes. The resultant reduction of sinus congestion allows me to rediscover the natural state of breathing through my nose. The relearning to breathe is somewhat complicated by remains of the debris. This in turn is even more challenged by overloaded circuits from increasing kundalini energy flows due to spiritual advancement. I can deal with all that and now that I am aware of what is happening, I can override the tendency to let the breath diminish.

The increased oxygen intake fuels more energy resulting in an increase of joy and an even greater awareness of the state of nonduality.

As far as wake up calls go this was rather benign, especially when I consider that it took a whole lot of man vs. auto incidents to get me off my atheist/agnostic stance. I have let go any thought of an anticipated opportunity missed and have shifted into gratitude for the real opportunity, as it unfolded in my life.
