The 18th Breath and the Higher Self

After graduates complete the basic Flower of Life workshop course and learn the 17 breaths of the merkaba, they often have the same question: Can they take the 18th breath (given by the Higher Self), leave the third dimension, and return back here in 3D?

More than anything else in this world of challenges, meditation and its fruitful results (opening of the heart) bring a more positive and constructive outcome for you and everyone around you than just about any other tool. Yes, you can take the 18th breath and return back to the 3rd dimensional plane upon which we now exist. Just how long you remain on the other planes of experience is a question only you and your higher self can answer. There are many issues that arise because of this question so here is further clarification. It is important to understand that there are no planes or dimensions to which you may journey that exist outside of yourself. All dimensions and planes of consciousness exist equally right here and now and require the individual to open themselves sufficiently in order to perceive them and participate within their realms. Experiencing another plane or dimension can sometimes feel as if you have completely departed this 3D plane and arrived at a totally different place.

As you know from the Flower of Life course, the seventeenth breath sets your frequency at 9/10ths the speed of light. The atoms of this 3D reality resonate or spin at 9/10ths the speed of light. That means that when we intend ourselves through our meditation to be at 9/10ths the speed of light, we are in effect raising ourselves from a lower frequency to which we have become accustomed. When we raise our personal frequency it has the effect of exposing to us more of the electromagnetic spectrum of frequencies and dimensional possibilities. Meditating and opening the heart exposes more of our own dormant sensing abilities. These dormant sensing abilities are uncovered and activated when we raise our frequencies. They enable us to sense, explore, and interact on multiple planes of the human potential as we walk the 3D reality. The seventeenth breath is a platform or stage that enables the individual to expose, access, and interact with more (but not all) of the electromagnetic spectrum. This gives us access to a highly sensitive and vulnerable state to which it takes time for us to become accustomed. In performing the merkaba the way it was meant to be performed, the participant uses the platform of the 17th breath to open themselves to the most sensitive and vulnerable state possible. Ironically, this state of being very open and vulnerable is our most powerful state, despite what it initially feels like. The 17th breath is a stabilizing platform to ready oneself for going deeper into the heart and onward to the 18th breath and beyond.
