What Is The Breath Telling You?

The breath has no religion. It has no preferences, except to just breathe. It’s there from the moment we’re born until the day we die. It’s something we can control, and yet something that happens involuntarily.

It is a gateway to our inner world, and a wonderful teacher. It can teach us about our mental/emotional state — is it deep and relaxed, or stressed and shallow? It can teach us about impermanence — every breath comes and goes. Every exhale is a chance to let go. Every inhale is a chance to wake up. About interconnectedness — every breath is an exchange with the environment and connects us to all living beings.

And so much more.
