A lawyer with a lot of opinions was none too thrilled when I asked she and 51 of her colleagues to drop their eyes for a breathing practice. She questioned its practicality. After a 5 minute breathing meditation she said, “I’ve been telling warring clients to breathe for 20 years but never did it myself. It really works.”
“Works” means it’s healing, it softens the hardened places, it clears the mind, it calms the spirit. A great post on elephant journal tells of a time when the author is “Trying To Breathe When All I Want To Do Is Scream.”
