Pairing one Spiritual AF card from a deck my husband gifted me for Christmas last year with one breath from the book Breathing Space each month along with my own insights is the roadmap for my practice this year. The inspiration flows from working with what you’ve got, facing life’s challenges head-on, and breathing through it. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I am enjoying creating it. Let’s dive in.
December's theme is You Are Not Required to Set Yourself on Fire to Keep Other People Warm, paired with the Release breath which highlights the power of the breath to release you.

This month’s breath is divinely inspired for the Holy-Days we are in, the time of year that provides an opportunity for introspection. While listening to Christian radio recently, I noticed the announcer praising someone who was giving to others without regard for themselves. This is a sentiment widely promoted during this time of the year, but I take issue with it.
To my way of thinking, this is the time of year to realize that you are needed, you are important, and you matter. You can and need to put yourself first. You deserve your own attention first. It is only once you are full-up and overflowing that can you give freely to others. This is how precious you are.
I am sure this is a law of physics as well as being spiritual law that needs to be taught in school.
Only when you have enough reserve to give to others can you extend your service into the world knowing that others are needed, others are important, and others matter too. You cannot help others without helping yourself first. This is how you create a fire that gathers other people to you in community instead of creating a fire that consumes you to keep other people warm, no self-sacrifice necessary.
I am sure this is a law of physics as well as being spiritual law that needs to be taught in school.
Please remember to ask yourself what you need first, to act on what you need first, and to give to yourself first. You can give to others with your whole heart once you are full-up and overflowing. It is from this place that you can both let go and be released.
This month’s breath will allow you to relax completely, a gift of self-care during these Holy-Days. Repeat as often as you need to during what can be a crazy-making time of year. Please put yourself first and create “peace on earth” where you live, in your very own home, as you prepare for 2022!
