Ru’ach: to breathe, to inspire

breathe
p

We come in on a breath. We leave on a breath. How are you breathing now? Are you holding your breath? Where do you feel the breath in your body? Do you know that you can go several weeks without food? And several days without water? And only several minutes without breathing? Do you know that every cell in your body breathes? Do you know that you can exercise your breath as much as you exercise your mind mentally and your body physically? Let your brain wrap around that. When I got bored in yoga class as a student, I would close my eyes and play with moving my breath to different parts of my body. You can focus your breath to a place in your body with pain and simply breath there. When we remember to consciously breathe; the mind becomes centered and still, the body relaxes and opens up to its own ability to self-heal and the breathe deepens, connecting you to your Whole Self.
