I make a lot of meditations about breathing. Mostly because when I breathe with other beings, whether they be people, plants, animals, or something else, I understand more about how we are all in this life together. When I breathe in places where the more than human world actually feels bigger than human, I know my place, and therefore feel more connected.
It took a while for breathing to feel this holy. Breathing doesn’t always feel natural. Breathing can sometimes feel forced or like an act of control, breathing can sometimes feel inaccessible, breathing can sometimes signal that something internally is offkilter.
If you don’t resonate with breathing the way I do in this moment that’s OK, I would love to hear what other mechanisms are useful for feeling connected, present, and alive, in your body and in this world.
