A Pattern is Running at Any Given Moment . . .
Posted: Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
We come by these Patterns honestly; meaning, there were invitations from others — usually significant players in our life like mom and dad — that had us come believe the way we did. While these Patterns are totally irrational, they were come by rationally. In other words, if I asked a person how they came to believe what they did their story would make perfect sense to me. It doesn’t mean it was clear or correct thinking: on the contrary! But how they came to believe what they did by hearing the child-like thinking that created the Pattern, they would make sense to me.
Unless your body and your brain are in the same place, it’s very likely that a Pattern is running in any given moment. That’s true of the great things a person does as well. Many of our successes are built on Patterns that get people’s approval so we can stay safe too.
The powerful way to break this Pattern from running itself is to:
Create body movement.
Shift your breathing pattern.
Make some joyous sound.
If you did that ANY TIME you questioned whether there was a pattern present or not, your whole life would shift for the better.

Oh, the power of movement and breathing! The miracles I’ve created in my days with a simple stretch or deep breath! Thank you for helping me see more clearly the connection between my body and soul.
