Breathing and Healing
By: Steve Ridley
Breathing:
Life is a journey of breath, at one level: an inalation followed by an exhalation, with periodic pauses, continually issuing until physical death.
Observing this amazing process of breath with full interest can be a valuable meditation focus which helps clear the mind of its tensions, restore emotional equilibrium, and open one’s spiritual awareness.
Regulating the breath through yogic and other methods can contribute significantly to wellness.
Being a ‘conscious breather’ gives one a creative advantage in this life of challenge and opportunity.

Healing:
There is no better medicine or therapy than spontaneous laughter. Openhearted laughing allows our essential Self to breathe freely.
