HAVING LIFE VS BEING LIFE

"There an all important difference between having life and being life. Having life puts you in a vehicle going down an unknown road with someone else’s roadmap trying to not hit potholes or drive into a ditch no matter what weather condition are thrown at you - an iffy proposition at best, a scary movie at worst. Contrast this to being life and co-creating your journey with Spirit. Even though you do not know what is around every corner, you have the confidence that you have been given the instincts and wisdom to navigate your course and gain the skills you need with the resources you’ve been given to take you to a benevolent location."

"I have had the pleasure of learning from Jim Morningstar for nearly 15 years through his classes, workshops, trainings, and breathwork modules. What I appreciate most is the way he presents this work….with humility, wisdom, and an openness that encourages you to discover your own unique experience and connection with the breath. His teachings are engaging, transformative, and have supported me both personally and professionally in deepening my relationship with myself and expanding my understanding of consciousness and the healing potential of breath. Jim has a remarkable ability to create space for learning, exploration, and personal growth. He is truly a pioneer in the breathwork world, and it is an honor to learn from someone who carries this work with such grace and integrity. I wholeheartedly recommend his modules, trainings, and certification programs to anyone interested in breathwork and personal transformation.”
