What does it mean to Breathe Peace?
Do you know that all living things on the planet breathe the same breath? We all share the same argons of oxygen. We breathe the same breath as those who came before us....Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi.....all of the Ancestors. We breathe with all beings we share the planet with, be it in Iraq, South Africa, Hawaii... . We breathe with the plants and animals. And we share the breath with the generations and life on earth to follow us.
When
each one of us is fully present in this moment, in the space
of
love
consciousness, we are in a moment of Peace. We are breathing this
moment of peace with all living things. As we each breathe peace, we
shift our consciousness, and shift the collective consciousness of the
whole. We are all in this together. We have in our hands, this
opportunity to create a world of Love.
As
we change our thinking and shift old patterns,
while
opening our breathing to allow the Spirit That Gives Us Life to flow
freely through us,
the changes we make individually
affect the whole web of life.
Our
thoughts
are our prayers. Our breath breathes our 'prayers' into life!
As
we each breathe peace, we become as a web of breathers, breathing peace
and love throughout the planet. Together we grow into Love!
Let's all begin to Breathe Peace. Now. In this Moment. I Breathe Peace.
Spread the word and remind one another to : Breathe Peace.

A message
from the Breathe Peace Founder, Donna Packard,
M.Ed., "The Inspirer"
For 20 years as a breathwork facilitator, I have worked with repatterning the breath to assist others to learn to love themselves, clear limiting patterns, relieve stress, and live fully. In this process, I have witnessed what I call 'miracle's' in action. So many of us have restricted our breathing due to stress, cultural programming and conditioning, and to repress our emotions. I've watched over and over how learning to breathe fully again, in the way a newborn baby breathes, in rhythm with nature, has the potential to shift us on so many levels. We become alive again! We rediscover what is in our hearts! (For more information on breathwork click here: Full Circle Breathing and be sure to read this story of a women' story of transformation, Changing at the Speed of Light )

I've
come to
understand that the essence of breathwork is that it helps us to
reconnect with a consciousness of pure love. We have been
conditioned that we are separate, when the truth is, we are all
connected within this stream of consciousness. We are all connected at
the Source which is Love. This life that we
live in this human form is a gift where we can experience, through this
unique expression of who we are, all of the wonders of the human
experience.
A
part of the human experience is the experience of emotions and
feelings. When we are breathing fully, we are feeling
our feelings. Our culture teaches us to not show
our feelings. It's somewhat more acceptable for women to express
emotion than men. Still, if someone is upset or crying, what is
the first thing we attempt to do? We do something to try to get that
person
to stop, rather than allowing them to feel, breathe and move through
the emotion
and to the other side of it. We are afraid of our emotions,
yet
if we would only stop and breathe and feel them, be in them, they would
clear and pass and show us the gifts that moving to the other side
brings. Think of the ocean, for example, at times there are
storms, this is natural, and these storms clear the way to a
peaceful, calm sea. We are so connected to nature, it is within us, as
well as all around us, a part of us. We have forgotten this
important
connection, a connection we must remember to heal ourselves and our
planet. (Click
here to read an excerpt on feeling emotions from Tonja
Little's
upcoming book: Patterns
for a Black Dress)
We
have been living life out of context, rather than experiencing the
moments. We have been conditioned to maintain a self image and to use
only a very small part of our brain to label things outside of
ourselves, instead of experiencing them. If you have heard Jill Bolte
Taylor, author of A
Stroke of Insight, speak, she shares her story
of having a stroke, and having that
small part of the brain shut down, and what she discovered while in the
other regions of the brain is that that we
are all connected in this vast energy of Love. (To watch her
short video, click
here.)
In
our educational system, often we are taught things out of context of
real life. Take math
for example. Instead of learning to use math skills to build a table,
for instance, we are rewarded for being able instead to do word
problems, which are not in context of real life, and
not meaningful
experiences to the learner. Our systems tend to reward us to stay
focused in that very small part of our brain mentioned above.
Imagine, instead, if our schools taught us how to believe in
ourselves, how to nurture our unique gifts, how to choose a partner,
gain parenting skills, grow food, live with the
land, and how
to Breathe Peace! An article I once read spoke of how
we all have an underlying stress. There is an anxiety we all carry
knowing if all of the systems we have created fall apart, we no longer
know how to survive! We do not know how to live in harmony with nature
which provides us all that we truly need.
Almost
all of us have lost touch with a true sense of inner peace.
We
are so caught up in the day-to-day worries. We are caught up in
maintaining the self images we have created. We have been living our
life out of context, living from our judgments of things rather than
experiencing them. We have been taught that we are separate from our
Source. We have
forgotten who we are and we do not love who we are. We forget
the wonder of our human experience.
We
have forgotten to live in the moments, concerned about the future and
holding onto the past.. We have forgotten the importance
our connection to nature and to one another. We have lost
sight
of the connection to our Creator or Source. We forget that we
are
pure consciousness created in Love. We have forgotten that we
are all in this together.
My
intention is to offer programs, courses, products and information to
help us all to remember these things and our core, which is Love. As
we each begin to realize we are here to give the gift of the
full
true expression of who we each are in our hearts, rather than to take
from the planet and each other, we come together in
harmony.
It
is so important that we all join together at this time, to live in harmony with ourselves, with our Creator, with one
another, with nature, and with all living things. If we do not remember
Love, and begin to shift the course of things in the world, our planet
is on a path of self destruction. When we remember Love, and who we
truly are, in this moment, in
this breath,
we shift to a world of peace. Our consciousness changes to a
place of knowing true inner peace. This, in turn, creates an
outer
world of peace, for there is not one without the other.
I invite
you in this moment, and in all moments, to Breathe Peace.
Many Blessings to you,
Donna Packard, M.Ed., "The Inspirer"

"I see you, Donna, as a person with a serene exterior and an inferno
roaring below the surface; a fire of love, peace, music, compassion and
a little silliness thrown in for good measure. I respect you as a wise woman
and one of the influential teachers in my life. I see you as a calm warrior, getting
your
message across with gentle
awareness. You have an undying
passion
for helping people and the planet. What makes you stand out is that you still
care and you still are fighting the good fight when the rest of us Lightworkers
have become jaded and complacent. You keep going and won't give up
until the beauitful world you envision is here. You are a visionary who is willing
to make your dreams a reality and soon. I have worked with other musicians,
breathworkers, energy workers, wise women and activists individually. Donna,
you are all of those at once, wrapped up into one little, unassuming, humble
package. You give your message gently , yet forcefully. You speak the truth.
You know the future. You don't push your agenda, but invite others to join in
your song of peace. I am a better person for knowing you and learning from you."

"You
have a divine energy that radiates out
into the world both with
your breathing techniques and your singing abilities. I can feel the
energy when I am working with you doing your breathing sessions.
Your energy is very strong and healing. You resonate wtih higher frequencies
of the universe and those vibrations lift others around you. I got so much
good healing from my sessions with you. Your work stands out because
of your personal integrity and you are in harmony with the higher vibrations
of the universe. Your mind, heart and soul are all on the same level and
your thinking follows that same wavelength. You are truly an extension of
love working in this world. I would recommend you to anyone and have. "

"Your work in the world stands out because your very ancient soul/essence exudes
light that intrinsically transmutes all for the good and illuminates this back to the soul
of the world. The difference in you, Donna, is the ability to 'vision' from a cellular
level. One of the wonderful pieces of the most incredible you, is you always find a
way to see/state the postitive, the light, the good of even a bad situation."

"The
first thing that comes to mind is the constant
purity of Donna's intention.
I've
worked with her in a variety of circumstances and I"ve always been struck by the
way she focuses on the 'goal' of the student/client to achieve, at the exclusion of any
consideration of self. .She is a pure and effortless 'giver', so very rare in today's
world, and so very essential to the work she has chosen to do."

In the Spring of Oneness: A Journey of Relaxation and Reconnection
By Creative Spirit featuring Donna Packard and Scott Cheney
Close your eyes, relax, breathe and enjoy this journey into Oneness.
In the Spring of Oneness is a moving guided breathwork journey designed to help you to relax and reconnect to your Source, to nature, and to All That Is. This CD includes a 22+ minute guided breathwork journey spoken by Donna Packard, set to the music of Creative Spirit. The music integrates the sounds of guitar, bottlebell and panmallet, the ocean recorded on a day when the waves were so clear and cleansing, sounds of the lambdoma keyboard set to the frequency of the heart (for more information on the lambdoma keyboard go to www.lambdoma.com), and special thanks to Joseph Carringer of Ancient Voices Harmonic Therapy who gave us permission to use his didgeridoo track. (Check out Joseph's work at www.ancientvoicesharmonictherapy.com) The guided journey is followed by Spring, composed and arranged by Donna Packard and Scott Cheney. Set the song to repeat to use for relaxation, meditation, massage, energy healing, reiki and for your enjoyment!
