The Breath of Infinite Patience

For those of us with deep patterns, healing might seem to take an awfully long time. We may lose patience and give up,, in which case the breath gets interrupted, or just let the mind run amok: this will never heal, it’s a lost cause, it’s hopeless, or maybe am just not healable… in this case the breath is hyper vigilant, concentrated in the upper body.

But there is a half way house of rest and digest. Of a different kind of breath that is neither shutdown - hopelessness - or rampant -. hyper vigilance - it’s a connected breath of what I call infinite patience; it’s a breath that says: I’m worth the effort; I can do this; it doesn’t all have to be healed all at once. And this the trauma informed breath we need, because it allows us to titrate and pendulate, without the mind’s interference. It tells the body I may not be healed yet but I still have enough in the tank to do more later. For now, I can breath the ‘I’m ok” breath. This is our loving, compassionate inner voice breath. 🦋🦋🦋
