“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky.
Conscious breathing is my anchor.
”
The breath is a teacher. It is medicine, and our connection to both the physical and non-physical realms. It is a light that can penetrate deep within, helping us see what our unconscious minds have forgotten or have hidden from us. Conscious breathing helps us heal trauma, tension and pain that gets stored in the body over time. It can calm an overactive mind, inspire a new vision, prepare us for sleep, or wake us up to a new day.
In times of uncertainty, the breath is an anchor that can keep us grounded , focused, and healthy. It is a direct reflection of how we feel and how our body is functioning. As we learn to take control of our breath, we learn to take control of how we respond to what’s happening in our lives.
