Think Indigenous: Native American Spirituality for a Modern World

by Doug Good Feather

Success or failure is decided in the mind before a business venture ever gets launched. Enduring love and abject heartbreak are determined in our mind before fidelity ever builds its nest in our heart space. When the topic of spirituality and breath work is discussed, the first thing that usually comes to mind is meditation. A traditional meditation practice takes a dissociative and observational view of our thoughts and actions, but that’s not the state of being we need to summon when we celebrate life. Our intention is not to disconnect from these things; rather, we want to vibrantly connect with our mind, body, and spirit in order to summon energy at will. We want to heighten our senses to allow ourselves to engage the world with the highest and best version of who we are and what we’re becoming. The Breath of Life Method is the counterbalance to traditional meditation in that it’s meant not to disassociate and observe but to activate and engage and light up our physiology at will.
