7 Days Of Stillness, Day 2: Breath As A Doorway

This is Day 2 of 7 Days of Stillness. Today the breath becomes the doorway. We follow the inhale into the body, ride the exhale back out, and rest in the small, sacred pause in between. The breath is the most accessible meditation tool you have. It is always with you, and every time you return to it, it returns you to yourself.

The series builds in sequence, but each practice also stands alone. If this is your first track, consider beginning with Day 1, or stay here and let the breath meet you exactly where you are.

Hello beautiful soul and welcome back to seven days of stillness. It's day two and our theme is the breath as a doorway. Allow your eyes to gently close, Receiving a low belly breath in, Settle into your body and as you exhale settle your body into your seat. Another low belly breath and allow this breath to lengthen your spine, Settle into a posture of dignity and peace, Allowing yourself to breathe naturally, Turn your full attention to your breath. Notice where it enters through the air and follow it as it travels down to the chest into the belly and with your awareness follow it between the inhale and exhale. That sliver of silence between one breath and the next, Rest there even if only for a fraction of a second. Rest in the space in between where there is no doing, Only being. The breath is the most accessible doorway you have, It's always here, It never leaves and every time you return to it, It returns you to yourself. Take another breath or two here, Returning home to yourself with gentleness and with freeing yourself from any limiting narratives or beliefs. Allow this love to fill you until you are overflowing. As love fills you and flows beyond you, Offer this love to all beings everywhere, That each one is walking a path you know not. We are love, Liberation and peace. Namaste.

All your offerings are so lovely. Sometimes I replay in the background as the pace and gentle nature of your words and delivery keep my pace calm and without racing within or outside myself 🙏🏻

Beautiful. Perfect timing for Day#2 with this breathing meditation and Joel’s soothing voice.Thought I was going to have a panic attack. Calmed me down instantly. Interesting how I seem to forget to breathe when something like this happens. I will remember ‘Breath is the most accessible tool’ and the sacred space in between is holy.. In deep gratitude Joel. Namaste 🙏🏼✨
