📖✨🧘🏻♀️ What an incredible book that I found at Yoga Edge. Just when you think you know all things breathwork/mindfulness/life, you stumble on beautiful wisdom that you hadn't previously considered. I love being surprised when learning about ancient practices.
💯 "Today, Western medical and scientific studies are proving again and again what the Eastern health traditions have known for centuries: when we breathe well, we create the optimum conditions for health and well-being. And when we don't, we lay the foundation for illnesses such as heart disease and high blood pressure. The ancients would roll their eyes that it has taken us this long to see the obvious. We can now take comfort in the knowledge that the most modern scientific and medical research supports the belief that proper breathing is a cornerstone to our well-being.
➡️ ...When you were born your whole body breathed. Every cell quivered with the vitality of the breath. Every bone, muscle, and organ moved with every breath. Every nerve was energized by it, every blood cell carried it, and every moment took as its meter the phrasing of your breath. Today, most of us have forgotten what it feels like to breathe fully and wholly with the vitality of the newborn infant. We have forgotten this but we have not lost it. In reclaiming the fullness of our breathing we also reclaim many other dimensions of our lives."
🫠 Breathwork has transformed my life in so many ways. A year ago stuck in bed with long covid & POTS syndrome, I thought my life was over. Through breathwork & other ancient modalities, I refound my vitality, my life force, my breath.
📨 If you're curious about trying breathwork, DM me or join a Sunday night Candlelight Yoga Nidra Meditation where we always begin with breathwork. (Every Sunday night at at 7pm Eastern at Yoga Edge in Ambridge, PA or on Zoom. Details: https://www.breathing-space-pgh.com/online-offerings).
