NEW! Advanced Version Available as of February 1, 2026
If you have practiced the standard version (see the steps outlined further down) for a few times, then you may want to try the advanced version. It is equally simple and does not take more time than the standard version. Listen to the recording where Patrick explains the steps and the reason why this advanced version has come forward.

STANDARD VERSION, 2025
This simple breathing method cultivates the connection to the sun and all the planets in the solar system. It makes one gradually aware that the solar system is conscious and that the sun and its planets embody a variety of qualities. The sun and each of the planets feel a bit different from each other. The qualities, however, are enriching and expanding the experience of human life. Over time one begins to sense that this solar system has a specific overall characteristic or “signature”.
The method does not take much time, just a few minutes. It is recommended to practice it daily. However, once in the day is enough. A good time to do it is in the morning, when one feels fresh.
Steps:
1) Stand or sit comfortably. Standing is preferred. Leaning on a wall is also fine, in case one has balance problems.
2) Have the palms of your hands open and facing forward without straining to do so. If you sit, then have the palms facing upward.
3) Then with eyes closed or open, inhale the air as if it comes from deep within Earth. Feel the energy coming through your feet, then going up and up and leaving the crown of your head. As this happens, sense, see or feel how this energy shoots forth and connects with the sun. It is as if your open heart freely and joyfully connects with the sun. Then exhale and feel the how energy is coming from the sun back down through the crown into your body, filling your heart and then flowing down deep into Earth.
4) While experiencing this wonderful connection, repeat the breathing 2-3 times.
5) Then proceed to do the same with the planets, each round with a new planet starting with
Mercury, then Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Optionally you can add an extra round for the Kuiper belt and the Oorth cloud as a whole.
6) Then simply feel your body and breathe normally.
After one or two breaths: sense, see or feel the solar system as a whole unit and hold it in your heart.
7) After a few breaths, let go and feel your body again and then slowly open your eyes.
Congratulations, you just experienced the solar system breathing method.
Additional Notes:
- You may feel more resonance with some of the planets. That is fine, but over time you might spontaneously begin to appreciate also the others.
- It can happen sometimes that when one connects with the sun or a planet that one gets the feeling, as if one is inside it and looking outward.
- As you connect with the sun or a planet, it is possible that you might also sense, see or feel the corresponding deity or devata. It is fine and it gives a joyful feeling in your heart.
- There may be days when you don’t feel anything or just a little. Never mind, there can be such days.
Enjoy!
