Chatting on the phone with a life-long friend of mine, I was recapping the typical frustrations of the day, when she stopped me in mid-sentence. She said, “Dusty, you are not breathing.”

Shrugging it off and continuing on with my story (which was so important I don’t even it remember now), I thought to myself, “Well, if I weren’t breathing, I wouldn’t be talking to you, now would I?  [Pause] Continuing on….”

Long after the conversation had left my consciousness, it suddenly reappeared.

That random moment, I realized...

I WASN’T BREATHING.

Step One: Identify The Problem – Check!

Step 2: Fix it – Ummmm, about that…

Well, you want the truth? Although, I realized I had a little oxygen conundrum which was now causing me strife, finding the solution has continually remained unchecked on my To Do List.

Why? Well, it’s not like Yoga and similar schools of thought/practice are new thing to me…  Actually, quite the opposite – but, somehow, without realizing it, I fell off the wagon.

Justifying my indecision with my normally pretty laid-back personality, one missed session turned into two…  And, before I knew it, the investment of time (and money) in myself appeared more extravagant “that month” than I could come to terms with… (Given I stared a new business this year with impeccable timing - a week before Ike and just punctual enough for economic hell to break loose)

But tonight, like magic, a possible solution for the problem I temporarily forgot I had…

What can I say, you gotta love Facebook…

So, assuming I am not the only one that could use a crash course in breathing these days; I thought I would share…  Looking for a one way ticket to Zen? ALL ABOARD!

WHAT IS TRANSFORMATIONAL BREATHING?

Transformational Breathing™ is one of the fastest growing healing and self-enrichment techniques available today. As a state of the art healing and regenerative process, Transformational Breathing utilizes a specific breathing pattern that clears past repressed traumas, revitalizes the physical, and transforms emotional and mental traumas on the cellular level. Maximum physical and emotional benefits along with expanded states of awareness are the natural products of increased oxygenation that Transformational Breathing brings.

The process begins by learning how to open your breath and utilize the entire respiratory system. This results in more energy and increased brain function that leads to more enjoyable mental and emotional states. Higher frequency energies created by the breath entrains (changes) the lower frequency energy patterns stored in body and subconscious. This process results in permanent transformation of pain and denser energies in the system and enhanced feelings of clarity and lightness.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

By using a deep, fully connected breathing pattern to access the subconscious mind, new path ways and greater levels of energy flow are opened within the body. Constricted breathing patterns are removed and the body becomes re-oxygenated with vital life force. This is achieved by using a combination of cyclical breathing, sacred sound, affirmations and focused intent. The method is very natural, easy, and self-fulfilling. No special skills or effort are required – beyond the personal desire to outgrow limitations and become more positively empowered.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR, J.D. THOMAS:

I began my journey with breathwork over five years ago. In a moment of complete surrender, I had asked for guidance and a deep connection to my higher self. My initial experience was so life transforming that I have dedicated my time to sharing the power of the breath. I quickly completed the training process with Judith Kravitz, the founder of Transformational Breathing and I continue to travel with her often. I assist her with trainings around the world as well as teach my own. I am a Senior
