Breathing — the most intimate relationship. And like all relationships, it can be conscious or unconscious. Caught up in your head, breath becomes unconscious. Tightening with anxiety or contracting in fear, breath becomes shallow and closed. Resistance to taking life in fully, breath becomes incomplete. When inhale and exhale do not meet each other as two equals, but instead one is longer or shorter than the other, an internal struggle is set up that reflects an external battle with existence itself.
Thank you.
