“Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be.
Let your body relax and your heart soften.
Open to whatever you experience without fighting.”
~~ Jack Kornfield
Greetings to all my precious people!!
You’ve been breathing your entire life, yet most of us have never truly learned how to breathe. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Lungs are called the “Master of Qi” and they govern not just oxygen exchange, but the very life force that animates everything we do. During Autumn’s Metal season, when Lung energy is at its peak, we’re offered a profound invitation: to transform breathing from an unconscious survival mechanism into conscious medicine.
The Revolution in a Single Breath
This isn’t about perfecting some complicated technique. It’s about remembering that every inhale is an opportunity to draw in possibility, and every exhale is a chance to release what’s ready to go. At midlife, when we finally have the wisdom to know the difference, conscious breathing becomes one of our most potent tools for transformation.
