In our hectic, everyday, run-the-rat-race lives, it is easy to forget the importance of breath. Breath gives us life and it helps us keep in touch with ourselves and our lives. Conscious attention to our breath calms us, centers us, balances us and leads to stability. When you want to reconnect with yourself, try this simple exercise and observe how you feel. Take a breath and as you exhale say or think “I am aware of my whole body. I calm my body. I calm my mind.”
The Breath
