manhoood teaching PART 27

"The breath we have tells stories. Childhood is the gift after birth. It was meant to hold us the way the womb held us in water with all of the living entities that shared that space with us. We played in the space between worlds for nine months within the water element fully aware of the exchange we agreed upon. To segue from birth to childhood was supposed to be a ceremony reflecting the relationship of the primary elements: female, and the God, and the male and the Goddess.

Because the fires of sexual energy led us from other worlds into the waters of our mother's cooling place, and the earth elements created form we needed air to create the substance of our magic: innocence! The air is life. It is spirit. Being in a body with spirit sustained by breath requires simplicity. The simplicity of in and out, inhale and exhale is a rhythm. If the rhythm of life is broken within a child an adult introduced fear into the child. Learning, or remembering how to breath is the first step of a process to reclaim one’s self from the thieves who introduced fear to the basic elements of childhood. This is why yoga is important. Yoga connects breath to prayer.

These are the words of a Grandfather. I am Heart Song Stone Man, Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories. AHO!" (March 12, 2010)
