From Here to Eternity: The Subtle Body, the Body You Can
See, and Beyond
We have a few “bridges” inside us. The duet of breath and energy forms the bridge between the body
and mind. Water, the fluid content in our body, and the breath are the bridges between the subtle and
physical bodies, and the breath itself is the bridge linking the subtle and the physical to the universe
and beyond—it’s what makes everything else possible.
Because of its simplicity, its purest, primal form, our breath facilitates the ability to access subtler
realms. It is the conduit through which we move our intention, the engine behind the conscious breath,
opening and activating our energy pathways, leading to the most perfect balance. Because of its own
innate tai chi quality—the union of perfect opposites—our breath can help us to cultivate peace and
calm in our external lives by honoring our body’s vital need to move energy in and out. Conscious
breath and movement help us create the life that we’ve imagined.
Intention and visualization are essential in waking your energy, but the magic carpet that will take
you on the ride of your life, the unifying element that brings it all together, is the breath. It’s the tool
we use to effect each and every shift that occurs in the subtle body, bringing it ever closer to greater
harmony and balance with the physical body, imbuing it with vibrant health and a radiance that shines
for all to see. And it’s what helps in our ultimate surrender, when we exhale for the last time—
becoming the stuff of stars once again, cosmic dust, dissolving into chi and merging with all that is.
Like yin and yang, where there is no beginning and no end, it’s the bridge to the other side, how we
enter the next life, the great world unseen.
But while we’re still here, let’s make the most of the time we have together.
Breathe! Quench your thirst. Drink from the cup of life! Breathe deeply, completely, fully, with
your whole body. Feel it! Relish it, your most trusted Waking Energy accomplice, your most powerful
link to nature, an intermediary between mind and body, and the bridge between the subtle body and
the beautiful house you’re renting in this life—your miraculous body, the body we honor and sculpt
and strengthen and expand in the practices, the body that helps you to become all you were destined to
be.
