Pause. Right now. Take 3 deep breaths into your belly. Notice how you feel. Your breath is always there for you. Always. I love ya 🌬💗
I feel that now more than ever I rely on my anchor. It nourishes me and helps me to feel the ground underneath my feet.
As a teenager I used to go for long hikes and at some point I'd sit down on a rock with a beautiful view in front of me and soft nature sounds to soothe my ears. I would sometimes sit for hours, reflecting, breathing in fresh air and allowing myself to reconnect with my inner center, my inner axis. It wasn't until years later that I realized that without knowing it I had been practicing a form of meditation. Movement with breath - and then meditation became the Holy Grail for me to change my inner state. And it still is.
It's in stressful times like these that we can rely on our breath more than ever. It will never fail you, it will always make you calmer and when we are calm it changes how we perceive the world and how we react to it.
