Ease In Difficulty

How can we feel at ease when life is difficult? Out of biological wisdom and necessity, our bodyminds are patterned to focus on difficulty, threat and hardship. While these states of focus are important for survival and resistance to violence and oppression, if we aren't able to relax and release from them, they can have profoundly detrimental impacts on our health and relationships. In this breathing meditation we gently explore the edges of the breath in ways that help our minds re-pattern their responses to stress, allowing us to cultivate states of ease and internal expansion even when challenge is present, a skill that helps us not only to survive, but also to thrive.
