The Magic Gratitude Challenge ~ Day 23

The Magical Air That You Breathe


Day 23 of the Challenge:

We never think about the air that we breathe. It is not something that comes to our mind, unless we are sick or having trouble breathing. I had never thought much about it until I read the book, The Magic, by Rhonda Byrne. It is a miracle to breathe, if you stop and really think about it. The oxygen that we breathe in feeds our cells through out our body, which in turn gives us life! Why wouldn't we be grateful for that?

Today you will take 5 deliberate breaths. Feel the feeling of the air filling up your lungs and moving through out of your body. As you are breathing out feel the joy and happiness that you feel. Do this five breath practice five different times during the day today. After you do each set of five breaths say the words, "Thank you for the magical air that I breathe." Making sure to be as grateful for the air as you possibly can.

If you can do this practice outside in the fresh air that would be wonderful, if it is not possible, do it inside. You can have your eyes opened or closed, you can be standing, walking or sitting, You can do it any way you feel comfortable. The most important thing is to truly FEEL the feeling of the air filling up your lungs and moving through out your body.

 You will breathe the way you normally breathe, this practice is more about having gratitude for the air that we breathe, than breathing a certain way. If taking a deeper breathe feels good than do that. Just make sure to feel comfortable doing the practice. If you want you can even make the sound or mentally say the words, thank you, as you are breathing out. You can try a variety of ways and see which one works for you.

The author, Rhonda Byrne, of the book, The Magic, says, "In ancient teachings it is said that when a person reaches the point of being deeply grateful for the air that they breathe, their gratitude will have reached a new level of power, they will have become the true alchemist, who can effortlessly turn every part of their life into gold!" That is a powerful and exciting statement, huh?

 Definitions - Alchemy - any process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into a substance of great value. Alchemist - a person who practices Alchemy.
