Can you relax into your breath to the extent that you are no longer carrying any emotional burden, and none is carrying you?
Like setting down your backpack after a long hike on the trail, you can lay down that emotional backpack and breathe easy.
Anytime you feel overwhelmed, let out a big sigh. My favorite yoga teacher taught me this. Two-thirds of the way through it you’ve dropped everything, and when you inhale you’ll be refreshed.
Big sigh – now you’re weightless!
