Why Breath?
As we grow, we can get distance from ourselves. It is necessary to go deep and meet with our true essence and re-remember ourselves. If we ask what it means to return to our essence; to be invited back to the feelings and thoughts that we have escaped, “forgotten”, distracted ourselves, and to get away from the feelings and thoughts that the outside world brings, that do not belong to us, that we imprison in the body... On our journey back to our essence, we awaken and remember the child within us. We are invited to feel our feelings, opening the door for our body and heart to be guided.
We breathe to return to our own essence, to reach our inner child, to remember ourselves. Our breath is a reflection of our soul and our sacred inner world. Breathing is the foundation of every mindfulness practice. A tool that is always with us; We are always within reach for calmness, balance and presence of mind. Developing a relationship with the breath is about learning to live in your body, creating new pathways in your brain, and developing emotional and relational intelligence. Breathing and staying with yourself, leads you to become one with yourself.
