When I think of saving my breath, I have a number of different fronts to address. There is the literal ‘save your breath’ as in ‘clean the air’, there is the figurative ‘save your breath’ as in ‘stop talking, no one is listening’ and there is the ‘save your breath’ that is the combination of the two and speaks to saving your life. Many meditation practices recommend we begin the practice with focus on the breath… the gentle inhale and exhale that keeps us alive.

Our children need to be taught at a young age how to calm themselves through the focus on their breath. Through their QUIET release of thoughts with every breath, a deeper silent conversation beings. In this silence, their problems can be conquered. The sooner they learn this, the happier they’ll be…. and happiness is what we do EVERYTHING for.

A combination of clean air and silence cannot be beaten when it comes to mental clarity, understanding paradox, accessing wisdom and paradigm shifts. I’m in the midst of a shift right now. I know, I know, I’ve been shifting for quite a while now but I finally have the right gear. I’m taking my own advice now and saving my breath. Saving it now for what I really want to say and shifting to that ULTIMATE happiness available to us parents NOW!

What is this ULTIMATE happiness available to us NOW? KNOWING that as we seek it, it is seeking us. KNOWING that we have been found and our children, our lives are cues for our DECISION to ‘click and accept’ it! Happiness is a choice.

What difficulty do you have, if any, in maintaining your happiness or bliss?
