Your Body Is Speaking

You have been breathing since you came into this world. You will breathe until you leave it. Between these two breaths lies your entire life — and every single breath in between tells something about how you live it: not symbolically, not metaphorically, but immediately, physically, in real time.

If you listen inward, you will notice it: your breath right now is either shallow or deep. Fast or calm. Free or constricted. Pulled up into the chest or spread out into the belly. Halting or flowing. These qualities are not random — they are the precise physical translation of your inner state in this moment, and, in the sum of many moments, of your entire life stance.
