Breathe in

This piece is a meditation on how each inhale and exhale can be a doorway into joy, sensitivity, and growth.

Breath

is where the conscious

meets the unconscious.

It's where

and how

we can get in touch

with what's true

beyond habits,

coping mechanisms,

words, stories and memories.

It's where we can find peace,

rootedness and belonging.

Every breath in can bring joy into our body.

Every breath out can bring relaxation into our being.

Relaxation opens us to sensitivity.

Sensitivity deepens the relaxation.

It's a virtuous cycle.

The more relaxed you are,

the less tension there is.

The less noise there is.

The easier it is to see

what matters,

what can be mended,

what can be organized,

what can be integrated.

The more you can relax,

the less pain there is.

The more you can pursue joy.

Another virtuous cycle!

They are everywhere

when you're breathing!

Let sensitivity and joy bring us to our growth edge

and let our growth edge be where we are most sensitive

so we can face the world with our vulnerability

and grow for ourselves and others

One

breath

at

a

time
