Holographic Breathing

This article is about one of the journeys offered in Holographic Breathing. The journey is into the earth and creation. This journey gives participants the experience of the different energies of the body and how they are reflected in the earth and universe.

Here is the story of how this journey first unfolded.

At this time I'd had a chest infection and had used this type of breathing to heal it.  I also found I could use Holographic Breathing to go on journeys into the earth. I would travel down into the magma; the molten lava, this had a wonderful, warm, red energy, and would heal through my body and chest.  One of the ways the face relates to the body and earth, is that the lower part of the face, reflects the lower body. These are both reflected in outer layer of the earth; the earth's crust. They all have the same deep, dark energies and the qualities of strength, structure and movement.

The middle part of the face is mainly the maxilla, which houses the sinuses and nasal passageways, this reflects the middle part of the body, as the chest, the heart and lungs.  These in turn are reflected in the middle layer of the earth; the magma, molten rock.  They all have a warm red energy and the qualities of love, feelings, and emotions.

The upper part of the face, the eyes reflect the upper part of the body: the neck, head and brain.  These are reflected in the central part of the earth; a huge crystal.  They all have a crystalline quality and relate to, higher energies, and light.

Using Holographic Breathing I would drop into the rock and minerals of the earth's crust.  It had a lovely cool, dark energy and was very healing.  Then I would drop down into the magma, this was good for the lungs and chest.  I would stay there receiving the lovely, warm energy and as I dropped further, I would come to the surface of the giant crystal.  I didn't drop into it, but could see it there glistening away.

On this particular day I had been teaching Holographic Breathing.  There was a lovely energy moving through me, and on the way home to relax I took a detour through some woods.  It was night, and as I came to the middle of the woods, I could see a large white object in my path.  At first I thought it was a plastic bag, but as I came closer, I realised it was a barn owl.  I was expecting it to fly away, but it stayed there in the headlights.

I turned the lights off and we sat there, gazing at each other.  After a while it flew up onto a branch near the driver's window.  I rolled the window down and the communication carried on.  It felt wonderful, after a while the owl took off and went on its way.  This was one of those moments you don't easily forget.

The next day I was walking in the countryside and I ventured along a track.  On each side there was a hedgerow with long grass in the middle.  I had not gone far when another barn owl, which had been hiding in the grass, took off from between my feet.  It flew very slowly, down the track in front of me, not much faster than I was walking.  Rather than flying over the hedgerow, it waited until there was a crossing into the fields, and took a left turn.  When I came to the gap it had gone.  This all felt very auspicious, not just the event, but also its timing.  It was mid day and not the normal waking hours for an owl.

That day I was participating in a sweat lodge and half way through the shaman mention he had a message for me from spirit and that it was going to teach me what it was like to give birth.  I was not sure I was so taken with the idea at the time, but what transpired later was very freeing.

That night, still resonating with the owls and the sweat lodge, I was breathing and descending into the earth, which felt very different this time, the rock and minerals had taken on a soft and sexual quality.  This was healing through my body, and felt very nice.  I slowly dropped further into the earth, until the place it starts to melt and become magma.  I descended into the molten rock, the earth's heart.  This also felt different, the magma now had a sensuous, and loving quality to it.  As I descended, this communication became stronger, and I had the realisation that this time, the earth was reflecting the sexual energies.  The earth crust was reflecting the vagina, and the magma was reflecting the uterus.  I was in the womb of the earth.

In holographic breathing, the genitalia are also a holographic representation of the whole and are reflected energetically in the other systems of the body.  One of their main qualities is that of creation.

The earth is female and on this journey she reflects the female genitalia.  She also reflects the male genitalia, but on this particular journey she relates to it more as the opposite attraction.

The vagina and penis are reflected in the earth's crust.  These are also reflected in to the lower part body.  They all have a deep, dark energy and relate to strength, structure and movement.

The uterus and prostate are reflected in the magma.  These are also reflected the middle part of the body and the heart.  They all have a warm red energy and relate to love, feelings and emotions.

The ovaries and testis are reflected in the giant crystal at the centre of the earth.  These are also reflected in the upper body, the face head and neck.  They all have a crystalline quality, and relate to the higher energies, and light.

As I breathed, and descended further into the magma; the earth's womb, this very loving, and sensuous, sharing continued. The energies were mixing and healing. It was powerful and lovely.

I descended until below me I could see the surface of the crystal.     It also looked different, the surface seemed soft, almost leathery and it had a very particular presence.  As I came closer I had the realisation it was a giant ovum and represented the ovaries.  I slowly landed, my feet came to rest on the ovum, they stayed there for a bit and then went through, first up to my waist and then I dropped inside.  It was very different from being in the womb.  The warm, sensuous energy had gone.  The ovum was cooler and I was floating in fluid crystalline light, there were opaque colours, and the feeling of pure creation.  I descended further into the ovum, letting this wonderful creative energy, heal through my body.  I breathed and travelled, each area having different qualities, colours, and light.  It looked beautiful and felt extraordinary.

After some time I was coming closer to the centre of the ovum, and the centre of the earth, gravity was balancing, this place had a stillness and a presence.  There was a lovely meditative feeling, and also there was something there.  It was a sphere and not much bigger than myself, and had a translucent dark quality.  I felt attracted as if we were opposite polarities.  Curiously I moved around the sphere, and then slowly towards it, my hands and feet landed on its surface.  I stayed there for a while, as a synergy was happening, my feet and legs moved inside and then so did I. As I arrived inside the sphere, the earth broke away from around us, and disappeared. I was left floating in the centre of the universe.

The earth is the mother, she is very female and at her centre is her opposite, the centre of the universe.

I was floating in a dark, endless space. It felt like it was before creation, and had a timeless quality.

It was dark, but the dark also contained light.

It felt empty, but everything was created from here.

It was also deeply nourishing.

As I breathed the experience became deeper.

I let myself melt, and let go into the energy.

After sometime I started experiencing of myself as a foetus, floating in space. I had moved out from the centre, and stars were appearing all around.  Their light and energy resonating in me, I felt part of creation and this great expanse.  I spent sometime breathing, and receiving this energy, I felt created anew, a child of the universe.  I sensed it was time to come back.  The stars and space disappeared, and I arrived back in the womb of the earth, in the magma as a foetus, a small baby.  I stayed there being nurtured, and receiving love, I was slowly growing, also I was moving towards the earth's crust. As this happened, the warm, red magma was becoming cooler, darker and more solid.  Breathing, I slowly moved into the earth's crust, her vagina.  It was very fluid, but had a denser quality, more physical.  I was aware of my body becoming more defined and stronger. This was a different type of nurturing.  I slowly journeyed towards the surface of the earth and on arrival was gentle delivered into my room.

I could feel the energies from the heavens and the love from the earth.  I lay there in these energies, letting them mix and weave within me.  I felt blessed. I felt like I had a new birth and the heavens and the earth were my guardians. All life is the meeting place of these energies.  They come together in us, and we are reflected in them.  The next day the abundance of nature looked very alive.

The first three times I guided people on this journey, I was visited by owls.  The first time I was driving and a barn owl came down to the road.  The second time there was another barn owl, at the opposite side of a junction.  It kept walking back and forth in front of the car and then flew off in the direction I was going.     In the third session there was a window that opened close to a hawthorn bush. As I opened the window, I found myself looking into the eyes of a small owl.  It was only about nine inches high, and fluttered into a near by tree.

Just recently I guided a friend on this journey.  Afterwards I went walking on a near by hill, it was dusk and there was a slight mist.  Coming to the top, the hill Plateaus to a gentle slope, a bird was fling towards me silhouetted against the sky.  At first I thought it was a sea gull but as it came closer, I realised it was an owl.  I stood absolutely still, the owl came very close and then veered off.  To my amazement it made a circuit around me, it was about twenty meters away, every so often it would dive into the grass hunting as it went.  At the end of its circuit the owl flew towards me and directly over my head, it was almost touching my hat.  I followed it up the hill and sat down as it went back and forth diving into the grass.  Dusk turned to night and it flew off over the hill.  In awe I drove home and for a while I sat in the car, there was some lovely music on the radio and I watched the moon.  I noticed in the field opposite there was another owl flying up and down hunting in the grass.  It really was the night for it.  I was completely imbibed by the energy of the owl, it was wonderful.

In Holographic Breathing, the in-breath relates to the heavens, the male energies, and the daytime.

The out-breath relates to the earth, the female energies and the night time.

Owls are the wisdom of the night and see what is hidden. So it was fortuitous that the owls came to help and guided me on this journey.

Thank you to the owls.

Thank you to the earth.

Thank you to the heavens.

Thank you to the higher energies,

And thank you to the energies of the Holographic Breathing.
