The Breath Breathes You

Close you eyes and become aware of your breathing. Allow yourself to become the observer of your own breath, the inhalation and the exhalation and in moments you will see the calm, quiet, stillness as you realize the breath is breathing you. As a teacher of yoga and a woman who has sought peace her whole life, I have discovered in that past several years that peace has been present all the while. It is mostly that we are not aware of it being present because we are busy with life doing, playing, resting, working and living. It is possible in all these activities of being, that we can bring awareness to the presence of peace as we quiet the mind and bring our awareness to our breathing in and our breathing out and our pauses in between. Today, allow yourself to begin the practice of noticing as the breath of life breathes YOU.
