BREATHE


Spiritual well-being begins with respiration,
the root being spire/spirit,

the dynamic energy interplay
connecting the ph
ysical body with the universe.

While otherwise still,
breathing that is slow, de
ep, smooth, and rhythmic
relaxes us while improving oxygenation and blood pressure.
It brings awareness to the present here and now.


Ahhhhhhhhh.

GRIEF​​​

Everything that we love, we lose.

The universal law of impermanence tells us that.

Grief and loss are an essential part of the human experience.

It's an inevitable form of suffering that every single one of us will face.

suffering = pain x resistance
