Hello hello. How are you?
We’re continuing our theme of connection today, focusing on the mind.
I am thinking of a podcast from Michael Stone that I listened to recently where he shares that it’s a “fascinating thing to watch when you’re sitting… how the breath really responds to the state of the mind.” He goes on to say “if you try to work with your mind to relax your mind, you tend to just create more mind loops…” but if you move to working with your breath and “you really start to settle your breathing, your mind also will start to settle.”
We’re exploring the body and mind connection today, expanding on yesterday’s meditation. At the same time, I also want to recognize that the mind informs so much of our lives an interactions with the world. The state of the mind impacts how we interact with other connections around us. What is here when we get curious about how our mind impacts not just our breathing, but how we speak to someone else or ourselves, for instance? So much to explore here. I hope this meditation is just the beginning.
I also hope that you’ll join me for the rest of this week’s exploration of connection too by considering becoming a daily meditation subscriber. (As with all my offerings, if this is outside your current means, please feel free to reach out. No one is turned away.)
Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.
