Breath is Life

This month of July in The Self Love Sanctuary we are focusing on Breath. This is the key to life. Literally our life force. There are many practices that we can learn which have a great impact on our wellbeing. There are breathing exercises for creating heat in the body, cooling the body down, releasing tension and toxins, balancing the hemishperes of the brain, energising and revitalising, calming the body, and helping with sleep difficulties to name but a few.

It seems so simple but actually until you can come home to your breath in full presence all else on your spiritual or self-discovery journey cannot be fully embodied.

Breath is the key, Breath is Life.

It is the easiest, quickest way to come back into the present now moment.

This now moment is actually all we’ve got. All else is mind – if we are thinking then we are not present. If we are worried then we are projecting into the future or reflecting on the past. Presence takes practice. We are faced with so many distractions in our busy lives that it can be hard to be still. The more we meditate the easier it becomes. Like everything worthwhile, taking time and dedicating to this practice will reap so many benefits and change your life for the better (and probably the lives of all those close to you also). This is amplified I feel for all of us living in a Western society where we are not taught breathing exercises or meditation practices as it’s not been a part of our culture.
