'Breathing Out' Memories Strategy

January 2026 anchored into my word-of-the-year and REVOLUTION surrounds my Mind Tool to be of Awareness and Consciously Choose to Direct my Energy, Attention, and Spirit. I wrote about how I decided to quit vaping/nicotine at the end of December 2025. Higher Mind sent me a Breadcrumb and I decided to embrace this challenge to release myself from nicotine’s grip which has strangled me since I was 18. And! I decided to put that ~$120 a month I’m saving toward Piano Lessons! Win-Win!

Well! I’m happy to exclaim that I maintained my decision to quit nicotine/vaping (thankfully smoking was kicked to the curb a few years ago) and this process brought new insights to the power of the LUNGS. Breadcrumbs from Higher Mind also led me back to Traditional Chinese Medicine where I chose to learn more about the organ systems and the five elemental phases. LUNGS + METAL.

This will all tie together…just you wait.

2025 was unfortunately plagued by a lot of my regrets, guilt, and shame. Unhealthy regrets, guilt and shame (might I add). Relentless reels of memories appearing in my Mind Tool…the chemicals released from those emotions tied to the memories flooding my body…I was not equipped with the healthy LUNG energy and METAL energy to properly use my LUNGS to Expel, Release, and Disperse those memories and corresponding imprints on my Psyche.

December  2025, I was introduced with a visualization technique by Higher Mind to ‘light a match’ to those memories that surface. To burn them away. Then I realized the power of my LUNGS, METAL energy, and my ability to focus my breathing to Breathe Out those memories and corresponding unhealthy emotions.

I have two decades worth of Psychic Training which taught me how to Observe my Thoughts and to Discern between my Thoughts and Psychic Impressions. Thoughts I Actively Think (Manufacture) and Thoughts that I Passively Think (Receive). There’s also the Thoughts that Arise Passively from my Psyche along with my Body which became accustomed to those chemicals/emotions that I allowed myself to live in involving those unhealthy regrets, guilt, and shame.

Reviewing LUNGS and METAL brought more awareness to the power of my LUNGS and how I can use that METAL energy to Release those Memories. Now that my LUNGS are not poisoned by vaping (and smoking) I am able to properly use that organ to Release.

I know how to Observe my thoughts and to Focus my Mind Tool. To not be a Slave to my Mind and unconscious Thought-Emotion-Action Loops. “Burning the match” was a helpful visualization technique, but I needed more of a Physical Component.

A Memory Surfaces that is of no use to me…a Memory involving that which must be Released…I consciously choose to not engage with the Memory. I consciously choose to not feed the Memory with my Emotional Reactions. I consciously choose to take a deep Breath to Breathe Out, Exhale, the Memory.

Easier said than done if you have not learned how to use your Mind Tool as a Servant to You rather than You being a Servant to your Mind Tool. One must Train.

My morning exercise is a fantastic Tool to aid in my Centeredness. To Be of Neutrality as best as possible. To Release myself from Yesteryear and to Release those Memories’ power over my Body and Mind.

I see the Memory surface…I disengage…I focus my attention to command that Memory to not birth an emotional reaction…I Breathe Out the Memory.

Maybe this Strategy will aid you!
