Breath....

Energy is often thought of as mysterious and invisible to our eyes, which it is, and yet it is also tangible and real and measurable. Like blood, muscle, and water.  Like breathing- 

Breath is life and one of our primary ways of moving energy. Our breath ushers us into this life from birth to death. So when we breathe we are making an agreement to stay here, for at least a few more minutes. Breath is a gateway to life- a YES to being here on this plane. 

Our unconscious beliefs and feelings about life itself, about receiving and giving, about the safety of needs, can be revealed through observing our breathing patterns.

TRY THIS FOR 5 MINUTES:

Spend a few moments paying attention to your breathing. As you deepen your attention on your breath, notice if you are most comfortable as you inhale or exhale. Notice if you are holding your breath anywhere along the way. What parts of you are moving easily as you breathe? What parts feel like they are not able to take in- or release air?

No judgement- you are simply a scientist gathering information---

Now- reflect on what you noticed..

What is your breath teaching you about your relationship to filling and emptying? To receiving and giving, to letting things in and letting things go…

As you go through your days, start to notice how your breath is reacting to different people, situations, thoughts and feelings... just track it. Notice the breathing.

REMEMBER you made it this far- you must be pretty awesome at breathing! 

Don’t stop now..
