The ability to “breathe with awareness” is a great tool to have on your healing journey—it helps relax your mind and body.
Set aside five minutes at the end of your day, for the practice of breathing.
Begin by repeating the following phrase silently, five times, slowly:
“In every breath, there is life; in every breath, there is peace.”
Then simply watch quietly for the next several minutes, the rising and the falling of your chest, as each breath is welcomed into your body, and each breath is released into the surrounding peace.
As each breath comes and goes, let the mind find its own quiet, and let the body relax just a little.
End the exercise as it was started, saying five times:
“In every breath, there is life; in every breath, there is peace.“
