Breathe Again, Breathe Again
I have underestimated the power of my breath. Its power to calm, soothe, free, protect and ground. I have always known about breathing exercises and its benefits, especially as a singer. However, knowledge is not power until you APPLY it. I have found the breathing as a quick “go to” when I am triggered or prompted to return to old habits. I even did it today in front of my students who were being challenging today more than usual. They stopped and looked at me, without me even saying a word, laughed and then went silent. After I had done my 4 short breaths, I continued where I had left off before I lost their attention. The remainder of the class was not much better, but they did calm themselves to get back on task. BUT I became better at dealing with the challenging behavior of my students. So breathe, it’s different, but in healing you want to at least TRY the tools in your toolbox before you say it doesn’t work. I still have more practice with it, but I must say I do go for it first in my tool box, where normally I would take a walk away from the situation. The breathing let me stay right in the thick of it and STILL FEEL SAFE AND GROUNDED AND CONTROLLED. Thank you, Legacy Rewritten.
How are you all making out with some of the gorunding, tiny take-aways?
