What is the practice?
It is often said that 10,000 hours is the amount of practice time needed to master any discipline. If you practice the spiritual breath® exercises an hour a day, every day, 10,000 hours is achieved in about 28 years. If you practice two hours a day, mastery would take only about 15 years. Of course, your karma, your effort and the grace extended to you by the Holy Spirit will most determine the time elapsed. In general, though, your devotion is matched by Spirit. Most who embark will have great difficulty reaching 100 or even 10 hours. There is great, great resistance to consecrating® prayer. In order to achieve even a single spiritual breath, the ego must—from its perspective—die. The ego will fight mightily the overall physical, emotional and mental effort required.
Consecrating prayer and the spiritual breath exercises are a new, direct path to the Christ and the Father. The Holy Spirit has dispensed a direct and rapid route to the pearl of great price. The Holy Spirit is pouring out her love and offering a direct route home. The ages have turned. The door is open. The moment is now.
The Holy Breath Institute ("Holy Breath") teaches only consecrating prayer and the spiritual breath exercises. If you would practice them, you would find that all worldly problems are solved, all needs met. Fear and worry, doubt and debt, lack and loss, all gradually fade in the light and grace of ascension on the Living Breath® consciousness. For it remains true, as Jesus said, that if you “make it your first care to find the kingdom of God, and his approval, and all these things shall be yours without the asking.” (Matt. 6:33)
Your transformation is steady and somatic—fundamentally transforming. Eventually the ego dies, and almost exactly at that moment, the spiritual heart wholly awakens.
The most cherished possession you will give up in pursuing consecrating prayer is a sense of control. The dangerous unknown is the giving up of control to the upward flow of the Living Breath consciousness. Each authentically received spiritual breath is achieved through abandonment of control. Yet the loss of control is in tiny increments—breath by breath—and thus tolerable and merciful. You learn to trust the divine control of spiritual gravity. You realize the illusion of control in this world.
No doubt, though, it is a great venture into unknowingness. Yet it is worth every aspect—no matter what Spirit has placed on your path. We all have to bear our own cross. When working with the Living Breath consciousness of the Holy Spirit the path to the Christ Spirit and the Father is straight and fast.
