Breathe. It's an essential skill.

and a vastly underrated one! amazing how quickly we forget about something we do every few seconds partially why I make breathing guides 😌 6s inhale 6s exhale repeat as needed 🔁

It's the one autonomic nervous system function we can directly control, and it's a key in regulating ourselves. I once did a 10-day meditation retreat, 10 hours a day sitting in silent meditation, and the first four days, we were solely focused on our breath.

exactly! have you read the book, "Breath" by james nestor? You might find it interesting. I wrote an article on its importance too, when I first quit my job and was looking at how to recover from burnout That retreat sounds fascinating! i've always wanted to do that. Where was the retreat? wanderloots.com/recalibrating-4

The retreat was at a Jesuit retreat center, but was hosted by a Buddhist Vipassana meditation organization. It was held here in Michigan, but they have them all over the U.S. and the world. That was in December 2019, and they haven't had one here since - they're restarting this year, and I was hoping to attend the one in September, but a broken leg that I'm still recovering from put that off until next year.

very cool! I meditate daily, but would love to experience the depth of.a multi-day retreat. My dream would be to do it in Nepal. I hope you recover quickly :)
