Feel With the Breath

Today I started feeling everything with the breath instead of feeling with muscles, mind, heart, emotions, brain, thoughts, expectations, dissappointments or accomplishments.


This is firstly, for me, a yoga realization. Like all my 'yoga realizations' it applies nicely to life. Check it out. Feeling muscle pain with the mind sends a 911 response through the sympathetic nervous system and all the muscles clench up. Like this:

Feeling with the breath is like a cool breeze blowing softly on your sunlit face...by the sea. This song is a nice theme for the thought. Feeling with the breath to shine light like the sun, in asana and in life.
