John Bradshaw breaks down the rhythm of life- holding on and letting go- to it's most basic and primal expression...breath. Bradshaw describes holding on and letting go as "life". When we meditate, we practice this symbol of holding on and letting go. When we focus on our breathing, we reconnect to ourselves. We discover that we do have the ability to hold on and to also let go. Breath is life, when you are having a difficult time holding on or letting go, take your mind off of your issue for just a moment and reconnect with your breath. Breathing in through your nose, holding the breath and then letting it go will begin to help you to address areas in your life where you may be struggling. When we practice breathing, we are practicing the act of holding on and letting go.
Take care everyone, I hope you practice the art of breathing and thanks for reading...
