Calm & Centered
Every emotion has a particular breath associated with it. So, the breath is a very good indicator of how we are feeling in each moment. That is, if we connect with our constant companion. In this short, yet powerful meditation, we learn a breath technique designed to calm and center ourselves. I found it to be a variation of the box breath without a pause at the end of the exhale. I could sense my body becoming more calm and centered as I did this breath technique. I wonder if there is a name to it? Thank you for introducing me to it, Chris! Namaste ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโค๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธ

I was aware of the difficulty in my breathing this morning during these exercises, as the pain today in my back & neck feels really tight, probably from the weather change.
