Your mind and breath flow together

[WhollyAligned]

The upanishads, ancient yogic texts, speak of the mind and breath as two fish in tandem. Where one goes, the other does follow.

Steady the breath. Steady the mind.

Steady the mind. Steady the breath.

This is a foundation of yoga - your breath. The prana - life force,

Pranayama means the expansion of life force energy.

Prana -life force

yama - meaning to control or restrain

You have autonomy/control over your own breath - and thus your whole attention.

Mind and breath flow together.

You are so welcome. It is such a metaphor for us all. Our breath. I do have the coherent breath podcast on an earlier post here which is 20 minutes of guided 6/6 breathing. I'll pop it here for you too in case it's helpful. Always on ongoing practise! Be kind yo yourself in the process. buzzsprout.com/246643/3199480
