The Amo Breath: A Breath of Love

 

In the 60's, a grand movement of peace sprung up in the United States in response to war, racism, sexism, and government control. The leaders in each of the respective repressed groups all shared one message: Love is the answer.

 

That is the same message that has been handed down by each of the world's major religions, as well as the thousands of different Indigenous tribes scattered across five of the six continents.

 

It seems simple enough in theory, right?

 

Programs Separate Us from Our Loving Spirit

 

Love is the answer. You love your mother and father despite not liking them all the time. Same goes for your siblings and friends. 

 

Then why can't that same love be spread to those you've yet to meet?

 

Part of the answer lies in the programs we start piling on as children. We pick up those programs from the institutions raising us and "teaching" us about the world around us.

 

Those institutions include:

 

·  family

·  friends

·  school (even the different classes at school)

·  work

·  marriage

·  town

·  city

·  country

·  political affiliation, etc.

 

Within each of those groups we create separation between those "with" us and those "against" us.

 

Dogma is just one of the programs we install, and with that dogma comes thousands of different emotional patterns for how we are supposed to act (react is a better word) to the world.

 

Why Your Life Unfolds Predictably

 

Remember those programs we just mentioned?

 

They are there for a reason.

 

That is how you operate. No, you are not a machine, but when you think about how your life unfolds, you are not too far from acting like one.

 

Let me explain.

 

The subconscious is the boss. It runs your breathing, heart rate, metabolic activity, hormones, viral response, and everything else going on under the hood.

 

Not long after you are born, the subconscious comes online and starts doling out responsibilities to all the various parts inside the body. It is also in charge of your response to what happens outside the body. It uses your senses to detect the level of safety or danger and the appropriate response in the face of said safety or danger.

 

Since the subconscious is a busy little bee, it errs on the side of efficiency. The first response is usually the go-to after the initial exposure. 

 

After several instances, you have a pattern, and years later a predictable way of living AND responding to the world and all the people, places, things, emotions, and energy that make up the world.

 

The Love Is Still There

 

All the programs you have "installed" over the years are layered over your loving nature. It is your job to peel them away.

 

It is hard. I know.

 

For many people, no matter how painful the life they are living is, it is what they are used to, and it is what they prefer. Hence the saying, "Better the Devil you know..."

 

Finding, connecting with, appreciating, and releasing those layer of trauma takes work.

 

One of the most powerful and enjoyable tools I have discovered to make the work more pleasurable is called the Amo breath. 

 

Amo, in Spanish, means love, so the Amo breath is a literal breath of love.

 

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Albert Einstein.

 

That quote is one of the many reasons the Amo breath is so powerful. We use love, the most powerful force in the universe, to deliver us from our problems.

 

How To Do the Amo Breath

 

The Amo breath is a four-part breath, the first part being the inhale.

 

On the inhale, do a bandha lock, squeezing the PC muscle (Kegel exercise).

 

As you breathe in, imagine the breath flowing from below you, in through the base of the spine. Trace the breath all the way up the spine. When you reach the base of the spine, imagine the energy surging into your brain, then begin the exhale.

 

The exhale is three parts.

 

Look at the spelling of the word Amo. Each letter in the word represents the sound you make as you exhale.

 

Start by visualizing white light cascading from the heavens over top of your head. Imagine that white light as universal love, bathing you with God's (feel free to exchange whatever religious or nonreligious entity you prefer for God) breath. 

 

Part one is the "Ah". Make a deep Ah sound as you exhale.

 

The exhale is three parts, so timing this so it all comes out nice and even may take a few tries.

 

With the "Ahhhh" sound, imagine that white light going down your head, through your throat, and into your chest.

 

Part two of the exhale is the "Mmmmm" sound. 

 

Close your mouth and hum the "Mmmmm" sound. The breath will naturally blow through your nose, now.

 

As you hum, imagine the white light swirling in your chest, clockwise, like a big vortex of love and power.

 

Part three of the Amo breath is the "Ooooo" sound. It sounds just like the letter "O". The sound that rhymes with no, snow, go, etc.

 

With the "O" sound, imagine that loving light bursting through your chest like a Care Bear. Shower the horizon with your love and that which the universe has blessed you with.

 

With each part of the breath, pay attention to the breath itself and, on the exhale especially, to, not only the sounds, but the vibration you are creating as this breath moves through you.

 

That vibration you are creating and sending out is one of love. Done with enough focus, intention, and repetition, the Amo breath will transform your life in the most subtle yet profound ways.
