  • Summary

  • " ...breathing is an automatic, natural process. With its awareness, we realize that it is not our process; we cannot stop it, we realize that we are not breathing, but that nature breathes in the shape of 'our' body, and that there is nothing that is ours...The insight that shows that no breath is ours is the beginning of all wisdom."

    Ivan Antic, Meditation, pg. 154

    In this episode I briefly touch on my experiences doing breath work, which has had a profound effect on my mental and physical health. Breathing consciously - especially while doing yoga - feels a lot like creating space within my body, making me feel lighter, more flexible, and (ironically) more grounded. Furthemore, once you realize what Ivan is speaking about in the above quote - which is not an idea or concept, but must be physically experienced in order to be understood - the world becomes a whole lot more light, flexible, and grounded as well. Coincidence? I dare you to find out.
