About the author

Prologue

We enter this world with a breath and exit the world with a breath. We start with beautiful full belly breaths as we grow up. Each breath nourishes our organs and body. We then forget how to breathe. We start taking shallow breaths and the more overwhelmed we become, the shallower our breath becomes. In gratitude for you taking the time to read this book, my gift to you is to teach you how to just breathe so that you come into the body and heart and out of the head for a few precious moments. This is an experiential book. It is not about giving you knowledge but about creating transformation. It's about raising your awareness about yourself so that you can fly.

Put your hand on your belly and take a deep breath to the count of 4. As you breathe, feel your belly rise. Hold the breath to the count of 6.  Humm out the breath to the count of 8. Just let go and feel the sound reverberate throughout your body. Do this 5 times. How do you feel? Do this as often as you can to bring your awareness into your body. 

The sky is the limit...

Where birds live in the true spirit..

dreaming big, unfazed by limits..

Showing us the way to unshackle our chains..

Not getting caught in the ordinary by-lanes..

The birds that soar the sky..

take flight .. gliding low and high..

flocking together, then parting ways..

liberated enough not to overstay..

coming together with no strings attached..

ready to take off, their souls detached..

letting go of places and seasons ..

and all that is transient..

Uniting with the sky ..

they soar high..

Seeking the heavens..

Soon becoming a speck ..

Then invisible to the eye..

Fading away into oblivion..

Completely self assured are they..

all of the sky is their home ..

no boundaries to limit them ..

no territory new or strange ..

the sky is only one ..

all encompassing, all pervading..

Silent and peaceful..

Detached from all humdrum..

The endless blue open sky ...

is it not but a glimpse of God ..

And of the Consciousness that is?

In this vast expanse and its purview..

all that manifests is God's plan..

With nature forever revealing what’s true..

Embrace the truth..

Soak in its glory..

For awareness is all it takes..

To be the reality and shed off the fake ..

We are born to be free..

to unite with thee ..

That knows no bounds ..

Stretching into eternity..

Designed to live extraordinarily ..

for is not this life that’s gifted to
