....Take this moment to acknowledge the one Teacher in your life, assigned to you by your Creator, that has manifested as your mother, your father, your peers and the Truth in all of the  situations in life that guide you to your Highest Destiny. This Teacher is identified as Guru Dev.

With your hands placed in Prayer Mudra and your thumbs slightly pressing on the meridian that is at the sternum ....eyes focused on the Third Eye ..a half an inch up from the eyes and a half an inch  towards the center of the forehead....inhale through the nostrils and vibrate ...Ong Namo....with the second breath...vibrate Guru Dev Namo

In every situation in life you learn some part of a truth.  When those truths accumulate  and have universal meaning, they can  turn into wisdom. Wisdom allows you to apply the truths to life situations for the benefit of a peaceful, loving sustainable future and helps you find your harmonious place in the Universe.

This is one of the greatest and most powerful exercises that you can do.

It builds a Sanctuary around you and expands your positive ego.

Breath of Fire

is a continuous breath through the nose with two to three breaths per second. The focus of energy is done on the exhale, done by contracting the navel back to the spine.  Relax and the air automatically comes in.  Create a steady rhythm.

Identify with your Creator

You hold a Unique place in Creation with one of your many Destinies being your Highest Destiny
