breathe...
Today has been one of those days where I’ve forgotten to take conscious breaths. It sounds crazy but normally throughout the day I focus on my breath, noticing its nuances. It immediately brings me peace and into the moment. It recharges my batteries and relaxes my entire body.
I became aware of my lack of conscious breathing while waiting for the elevator wondering what to blog about. I immediately took action and took one full deep inhale, letting my entire body relax while exhaling. Then, it came to me, how many other people also need to be reminded to breathe deeply and deliberately? – So here I am.
Here is a moment for you to breathe and look at beautiful autumn pictures.
deep inhale...
and exhale...
another deep inhale, filling your side ribs...
and exhale slowly, releasing all the tension in your shoulders...
Imagine youself walking down this path, the cool air on your face, embraced by the sun, and loved.
(Once a yoga teacher, always a yoga teacher. I didn't call it Stacey's Respite for nothing, wink, wink...)
