What do you feel, what do you see, hear, and taste? \u00a0Spend a few extra breaths here. \u00a0This is your moment for the year do you like where you are at, do you like what you have become? \u00a0As soon as you come to the edge of the feeling of the combined 1st and 2nd breaths, this final breath is the most important. \u00a0Spend as much time as you want here. \u00a0This is a brand new canvas. \u00a0Breaths 1 and 2 no longer exist. \u00a0When are you ready? What does your 2014 year look like? \u00a0 What picture would you like to paint for the year? \u00a0What energy would you like to spend more time on? \u00a0What energy would you like to spend less time on?<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is your canvas for the year. Make it count.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The energy that you place here is very powerful. \u00a0The intentions you place makes a ripple in the collective. \u00a0Though situations such as relationships, your job, and these aspects are important, it is not what defines who you are. \u00a0Relationships can be broken; jobs can be lost. Listen to your heartbeat, on this last breath.<\/p>\n<p>As you approach this last breath, your heartbeat may seem like it is in a fog, or it might be clear. \u00a0<strong>Your breath is the lighthouse that has been guiding you all this time. \u00a0Take the time to listen.<\/strong>\u00a0 Many emotions will be pouring out during this time. \u00a0 You may laugh; you may cry; you may smile. \u00a0 Accept these feelings.
