A Breath Meditation to Bring Together Your Spiritual Community

Jim Morningstar, PhD, leads a guided breath meditation which helps you create a circle of safe and loving light energy around your body. Within this circle you can more directly connect with and listen to your Source. You can then draw to you like-spirited beings to breathe in community from all over the planet. In so doing what you create in the name of spirit has our combined loving intentions for the good of all in our world.

Anxiety?....Join this Breathwork
Research Project
Richard Blake, doctoral student at the California Institue of Integral Studies, is conducting his dissertation on the effects of a structured online breathwork program on anxiety. The virtual breathwork sessions are free to those volunteering for the study.
This is a well constructed project that has received approval from the university as safe and potentially beneficial to the participants as well as useful for the validation of online breathwork and inspiring of future research.
I am on Richard's dissertation committee and endorse his work and the worthiness of this project for the future of professional breathwork.
