Transcription: Release Emotional Weight That Isn’t Yours With the Last Breath Exercise

Feeling Others’ Energy

Weston Jolly: Amidst all of the noise and the heaviness that I know you feel, there’s this beautiful, silent part of you that takes place in your heart that actually creates the path to all truth and understanding. Today I want to share something with you that, in my opinion, is probably the most challenging thing that we’re faced with when we come to this earth plane, and that is feeling energy that’s around us and discerning that it’s not yours. It’s not yours to take on. If we made that even cleaner or clearer, it’s feeling other people’s energy and not becoming confused that that’s your energy, that it’s your anger or your frustration, or perhaps even your states of separation.

To that end, I want to share with you a wonderful tool that takes less than a minute to literally help you transform that feeling of being challenged or taking on energy that’s not yours. So let’s go back half a step. When we come into this earth plane, when we start in the embryonic space, especially when we come out and we enter into the world, we’re taking on energy. We have from the moment of conception, but we especially do that when we come into this world. We’re feeling everything around us.

So the idea that we want to push away or pretend that this isn’t a natural part of who you are is, in one sense, crazy. Honoring that you are a sentient being is really a beautiful thing. However, especially if you are a highly sensitive person, you will have feelings that go beyond, we’ll call it, the normal person, divergently so. You’ll have access that takes you into whole other states of being connected and also states of being separated. It can be really challenging to have that kind of gift set and to be in an environment where you feel that it’s not safe.

Emotional Weight That Isn’t Yours

Weston Jolly: Yet we want to address that because if you choose to really master that and become accomplished in realizing that you don’t have to be trying to control the environment, then you are put in this wonderful place of being empowered. Then the environment doesn’t take you down some kind of path. It’s not controlling you as much as you create an opportunity, a place of illumination for you to really create something entirely different. Let’s talk about the challenge that it feels like to be feeling someone else’s energy. That could be your brother’s, that could be your mom’s—numerous circumstances that could be described as overwhelming to the point that we can nestle in and be even comfortable with words such as depression and/or feeling really, really separate, to the point that we don’t really feel like we belong or that we want to further connect.

Oftentimes, even when we do this, we will huddle in a group, finding other people with like energy to be understood, that we feel despondent or disconnected or not worthy. Yet that’s not necessarily going to take us into any wonderfully healthy space. So the real secret is to not try and fight any feeling that you have, but rather honor the fact that when you are feeling energies that feel less than comfortable, that do not have to be polarized in terms of good or bad—but they typically are—we can slow that down to appreciate that there’s something that we’re learning or showing ourselves with those reflections. Instead of trying to fight our opportunity to feel, we want to actually go into it. There’s a secret in doing that.

The real secret, ultimately, is to feel the energy around you, especially if you are highly sensitive, but to not hold it. When I say hold it, I’m speaking, of course, of the body. If you were to jump onto a scale, some people have a pretty good idea of how much they weigh. But most people don’t have a clue to what degree they’re carrying weight that could be described as emotional weight that isn’t theirs. It’s common, for example, for someone, in coming into their incarnation, to feel perhaps the guilt or the shame or the challenges—the energy of the people that they’re coming into.

Family Patterns and the Last Breath Tool

Weston Jolly: That would be mom and dad. Yet that energy isn’t theirs, and yet they may carry it in their body. This is why questions come up when we go to medical professionals; they ask you about things that run in the family. That makes sense from a DNA perspective, but even from an emotional perspective, oftentimes these things are passed down generationally without even necessarily knowing that’s taking place. Yet in this space we want to be hyper-aware.

So let me get to this tool, this space of sharing with you this 60-second shift that will take you into a completely different place. To be honest, this exercise was given to me—given to me by Source. It’s something that I think is one of the most valuable things that you’ll ever come across. I want to offer it to you freely because I think it has that kind of value to literally transform everything…

So in the setup, this exercise, like I said, is only going to take a minute, maybe a little bit longer. But I want you to get prepared for what we’re about to do. If you can, I’d like you to be in a space where you can give me your complete and utter attention. In doing so, I want you to appreciate that this exercise that I’m calling the last breath—your last breath—is just that. I’m going to be asking you to take your last breath.

As you do, you’re going to be taking in your air, your oxygen, your breath. At one point you’re going to get to the climactic high where you can’t take any more in, right? When that happens, I want you to just realize that this is it. This is the last breath. You’re going to come to the end of that exhale and that’s it.

Experiencing the Last Breath

Weston Jolly: There’s nothing more to do. All I want you to do is to observe. So in this moment, if you’re ready, go ahead and begin to take your last breath.

If you’re aware that you’re getting to the climactic top, not being able to hold anything more in, you’re coming now to the downside of beginning to slowly let that out. Create awareness of anything that you’re processing… When you get to the end, I want you to realize what you’ve done.

By putting your energy, your focused energy, on realizing that this is it, there’s only one more breath that you have to take in this incarnation, it shifts all of your attachment energies that you have felt around you and creates a new kind of focus. It’s something that takes place magically, actually, because your higher self, your soul, in that exercise is actually preparing you for transition. Now, of course, when it comes time for that to actually be true, it’s going to be preparing you to let go of your body, which is, of course, the battery pack that keeps this sense of self alive, and that part of you, of course, will die. The real part, of course—the essence of who you are, the soul, the higher self—doesn’t die at all. It literally ascends into this other state of your being.

This is the part that takes place automatically with this exercise. What it does is it brings all of this chaos, all of this noise, all of this energy, all of this confusion and feeling overwhelmed, and it brings us back into a state of oneness. This is something I’m going to be talking about in the future very quickly, because as we realize that we move into a state of oneness, it changes the way that we create and co-create. Instead of me coming into a room and trying to separate myself from a person or group of people or maybe the whole group, it changes how I go forward. I become literally at one.

Oneness, Empowerment, and Letting Go of Fear

Weston Jolly: In this state of oneness, it enables you—that’s a very key word—to go forward in a completely different way, in essence, an empowered way. I have to step back to help you understand that this takes place within you, in the same way that, biologically, there are parts of you that have the ability to take care of yourself when fear arises on the horizon. In your ancestry, of course, running away from wild animals was common as a means to try to escape. That would be described as a real fear that gets materialized physically in terms of adrenaline, etc., etc., to be able to create the actions to get away.

Today we are often triggered, especially in emotional categories, but not necessarily physically like we have been in our ancestry. Beyond beliefs are these things that got handed down to us energetically. This is what we’re letting go of so that we can let go of that process, which is physical, biological. What we’re doing is putting our focused attention on our connecting—our connecting to Source and essence, the true essence of who we are…

As we do this, it brings us into this state of tranquility. Ultimately, as I’ve just got through demonstrating, it doesn’t take half an hour. It doesn’t have to take a great deal of your focused attention. Certainly it’s not something you have to try to control or manage. Putting your attention on the real you is literally transformative.

Giving yourself permission to play in this space of connection is everything. The more that you play with the idea that you don’t need to be separated from anyone else’s energy, but you can see these different reflections of energy as a part of who you are, it helps. To give you a little tease of the near future, when we talk about being united, united is an extremely powerful concept. We share, in terms of this nation, the United States of America, and assuming that’s true, there is a connection that we have with one another. Now, when we do that, sometimes we create a separation.

Collective Division and True Unity

Weston Jolly: This group, this nation, is somehow different from some other kind of nation, which isn’t true. So our energy here is our comfort, our safety net, if you will, and this other energy in some other place may be perceived as uncomfortable, to the point that we need to protect ourselves. But the whole point is, whether it’s individually, in a personal relationship, and/or through a work relationship, we want to honor the fact that we’re literally one with everything. When we see this, it changes the way that we interact. I’m not saying that through oneness you have to agree or that you’re going to hold values that everyone else has.

That’s unimportant. But the synergy—or better stated, the energy of empowerment—that comes together when we go to connect with everything is outrageously exciting. Letting go of the fear that could be used as a tool to keep you in play—that is, to keep you constrained or disabled or disconnected—is commonly done as a means to give another person or party or group control. When you do that, of course, you’re submitting yourself through free will, by choice, to do something that takes you away from your true empowerment and truly what you’ve come here to do and/or to express. So giving yourself permission to really accept your place and honor who you are is to be seen as being at one with quite literally everything.

Again, I’m not saying that you have to agree with all these different reflections, but understanding that we literally are in a state of oneness—as you see that within yourself—that happens naturally through this last breath exercise. It takes you on this connected journey of being able to go forward in a completely different way. I wanted to share this exercise because I think it has tremendous value for you, especially in these given moments for us individually. If you can see this, we’re under a great deal of pressure that we’re all co-creating as an opportunity to divest ourselves from the energies that have held us captive individually—through race, through sexual preference, through individual expression that would be considered this versus that. The idea that we have these divisions of blue coats versus red coats, which are basically symbolic words for a civil war that we once had in this particular nation…

It happens everywhere. Of course, when it happens within a body, it creates a cancerous effect because we have one side attacking the other side. We want to let all of that go because when we do, instead of engaging in that fight, it enables us to step into an energetic empowerment that is quite real. It divests us of any kind of weight. I’m speaking of physical weight as much as I’m speaking of emotional weight that isn’t yours to carry. It removes, just like that, any confusion or heaviness that is being thrust upon you as if that’s real.

Then suddenly you can feel that, you can recognize that it has nothing to do with you, and then you allow yourself to connect and go forward in a completely different way. It creates an invitation for you to offer others—we’ll call it that—helping hand for them to be free as well. So use it as you will, but it’s the most powerful tool, and I’m very grateful for you to be here.
