Breathe Potential



We are the potential of greatness in every breath.





We all have the extraorinary coded with in us waiting to be released - Jean Houston


Each one of us is truly unique. Like an acorn seed contains within it a blueprint of all the information for the oak tree it will become. Each one of us also contains all the information needed to become ourselves. We are potential unfolding...Anything is possilbe.



Today Hilary Clinton went to visit one of the most dangerous places on the planet Goma in the DRC Congo. I celebrate her courage in doing this. What is the potential for this tortured and ravaged country to heal. Whatever the criticsim of her maybe I do stand up and acknowledge her for actually going to face the situation. she cant fix it - that is for sure- but i do believe that each one of us does have a hand in changing the story.......


The only way forward is for the world to join together in changing the realilty - and create a new story for Congo. This a grand vision- and yet I know from my own experience of being in the DRC that the potential for healing is there- In each child-in each woman. We need to Breathe the Potential of healing into our world. We need to be agents who are willing to release into the world our own potential in service of - Global Wellness....



In every moment we are unfolding- each thought that we have, word that we speak, action that we take, is in essence an opportunity for us to release our innate potential. We choose this. We create this.


Potential is in each one of us- We may all have certain family histoires, genetic histories- and yet science, and intuition show us that we are not bound by our culture, our family, or our biology. We are not fixed beings- we are not closed systems. We are open, fluid and ever changing. We are in every breath filled with possiblity for something magnificent and unprecedented to take shape.



How many times do you catch yourself telling yourself a story based on the past? Based on who you were? Today I worked with a client who is still living out the story of beinig a kid who had to fight his Dad because it was the only way he could survive in a hostile abusive childhood home. This story happened 20 years ago. But it might as well still be happening now- it is still his story. In re-creating this story over and over agian- my client is remaining trapped inside of it- and can only live according to this truth. At this point he is struggling to overcome this and to step into the reality of who he is today- His true potential as a fine, loving and compasionate human being.




Practice #1 - Hear the Story's you are telling yourself....
Right now take a BREATH and slow down- allow yourself to stop and to find a place inside yourself which is like a viewing platform where you can just take in the landscape- as if you are about to take a photo.

Now allow there to be a picture, a memory, a story to come into your view- its one of the most popular stories you retell yourself about yourslef. It is an archive of a point in history. Start to see this story playing out- and notice what happens to you- are you attached to this story- what does the story give you?


One client told me of seeing herself as a kid in a home where her mum was sick and where there was chaos and no structure- everything felt crazy. As an adult she retold this story often to herself, she made this mean that she could not tolerate stress. She used the story to justify this in herself. To back it up! It was the reason that even today she would start to feel anxious and out of control if her world got disordered. What she did to stop this feeling? She held her breath and tried to control everything. The result was - that she did not allow herslef to do things that she wanted becasue they were "too scary".


Notice your favorite oldies----look at them with affection like old movies- and now with a BREATH decide which one is actually limiting you now in your potential- in the person that you are inside.


Breathe Potential now- you contain all the information to be yourself- it is simply that you are needing to release this. Letting go of an old story about who you used to be is like clearing out the closet. You can try on the old clothing- remember when you wore it- even feel sentimental about it- but if it doesnt fit who you are today then you dont need to keep trying it on.....Its ok to let it go and start to tell a new story about yourself.


I invite you to clear out the closet today- find one old story and try it - notice who you in the story and then find anew story to tell- its a style make over at the soul level.....

For more Breathe Potential Practices please look out for the BREATHE HARMONY 90 DAY PROGRAM.......it will be available very soon as an ebook!

Blessings to you all.....
