Awareness of the breath allows you to come back into your body. There are some schools of therapy that want you to breathe perfectly, not too shallow, not too deep. But if you allow the breath it’s own course and not control it with your mind, something deeper begins to happen. The focus allows us to get into a state where we are more in touch with ourselves, we relax and the body enters a state of self-regulated homeostasis.
It’s about trust. You loosen up the control of your head and trust your body, which, by the way, has been doing a great job all these years. Trust your breath and allow it to take it’s natural course. Allow your focus to bring you deeper into yourself with respect and care. Where has all that mental control taken you? Usually it’s more things to control and more thinking and less being. Let’s begin each day in love with our bodies, in love with our breath and in gratitude for the sacredness of being here. Allow your awareness to ripen your being to the fullness of your experience. Be conscious and allow yourself to just be. This is enough because it’s all in you, remember?
Blessings on this rainy day:)
