Mind The (Breathing) Gap

In this exercise, we will investigate the breathing cycle, paying full attention only to the pauses of its ‘work cycle’. At the very top of the inhalation, we have a “suspension pause”, a tiny “linking bridge” between the in and out-breath, just before the body releases the air out of the body.

Then we’ll investigate the other respite: the “linking bridge” between the out and in-breath. You mindfully observe and feel the movement of the breath work cycle, the whole breathing process which includes the very short pauses in between each in-breath and out-breath

This is the movement of life happening inside and through you. Your body is a vessel navigating the sea of life and your consciousness is what makes you aware of this beautiful and very short journey. This is a gift given to you. Simple mindful breathing practices like this will bring you inside your body, alongside the life happening inside it. Very helpful when you feel your mind is elsewhere rather than in the here and now.

Absolutely BRILLIANT! I did manage to notice the “suspension pause”, the “linking bridge” - wonderful way of looking at it btw! Very creative. Again, thank you so much.
