Breathe

This goes out to the worried
This goes out to the stressed
Sorting out a million thoughts running through your head

To everyone that's waiting
For better days ahead
Tired and frustrated and leaving words unsaid

Please don't hold your breath

Just breathe
'Cause it's a miracle we can breathe
There's power in the way that we breathe
Release your heavy burdens…

-Maverick City “Breathe”

One of the greatest gifts we are given is the ability to take in oxygen. Inhaling and exhaling is by far the quintessential component of life. As a yogi and yoga instructor, this is by far my most favorite component to asana practice. In the last year, I have really deepened my study of breath work which is pretty amazing, considering I’m also a trained vocalist.

However, I needed this reminder today. I needed to be reminded to just breathe. There’s so much going on in the world, in our nation, and in my head. I am waiting patiently on what is ahead, but having faith in the unknown is a little unnerving to say the least. After I heard this song on our homepod, I realized, I haven’t been breathing like I should. This afternoon, I devoted time and energy to simply being grateful for the miracle that is in my breath.

Today- I am grateful for the power in the way that I breathe. I hope you take some time today to reconnect to your breath. Be present. Be still.

Light and Love-

Amber
