The Memory Breath, also called The Pendulum Breath, is a very important Breath, especially for practicing Healers. It is essential for Spiritual Development and Higher Awareness.
Man is immortal, meaning there is a continuation or survival of consciousness when we depart our Physical Form. Some people call this consciousness Soul, or Spirit. Actually it is both. Spirit and Soul are attributes of Consciousness. Consciousness is a physical manifestation of Spirit and Soul.
Spirit contains that spark within each of us that makes us part of the Divine. Soul is the accumulation of our experiences, good and not so good, through lifetime to lifetime. Consciousness is what enables us to dwell in a Physical Body in this dense planet.
When we incarnate, we lose our connection to the Divine and our awareness of Spirit and Soul. The Memory Breath. when practiced correctly, attunes us to Spirit and Soul, the Divine aspects of Higher Awareness.
Our physical awareness consists of the five physical senses. Higher Awareness consists of intuition and our ability to see, feel and hear on higher levels. We seem to have lost that ability and our connection to Who we really are. We appear to be land-locked into our environment and our every-day experiences. This Breath helps us rise above the mundane and tune into the Divine.
When we practice the Memory Developing Breath, we are stimulating Higher Awareness which enables us to remember dreams and our Astral experiences, as well as what we do in our waking state. The Memory Developing Breath strengthens the channel to past lives and past memories that have an influence on our lives today.
The practice of the Memory Developing Breath helps one develop and establish access to knowledge of other people's lives, past and present in order to best help them Heal.
Since many people suffer from past life influences as well as present ones, the Healer needs to see into these influences and what is troubling the person. It is this sense of knowing that enables the Healer to work with someone to erase the old patterns and create new, healthy ones.
Awareness is the secret to Spiritual progress. In order to become Aware, we must open ourselves up and be receptive to new ideas. We must learn to use our intuitive senses rather than the physical senses of our bodies and hearts, or using our rationale and mind.
It is this Higher Awareness, the connection to the Divine, that enables the Healer to know what the other person requires. It is the Divine Energy that flows from the Healer to that person that allows Healing to take place.
Divine Energy is Perception, Intuition and Love. It is Awareness at its highest level.

2. Now swing the head back as far as possible. Then, begin the forward swing until chin reaches the chest again, without a pause.
