I almost posted something about politics, but this isn't a weekend for poopy politics--not during the time of rebirth and renewal and hope. Ease.
Instead, songs about breathing.
Give me a taste of something new
To touch to hold to pull me through
Send me a guiding light that shines
Across this darkened life of mine
Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe life to lay 'fore me
Breathe to make me breathe
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
And uploaded from my collection, a gentle traditional hymn interpreted by the gentle voice of Steve Bell. It's the perfect tempo for calm, peaceful breathing. (Interpret the god bits anyway you want.)
I feel the winds of God today
Today my sail I lift
Though heavy oft with drenching spray
And torn with many a rift
...Great pilot of my onward way
Thou wilt not let me drift
I feel the winds of God today
Today my sail I lift
I also found a breathing exercise from zenhabits.net. It's cute!
1. Find something divinely touched, like:Nature, music, love in any form, yourself doing anything good no matter how tiny...
2. Take a slow deep breath: "Repeat. Each inhalation brings with it more inspiration, and each exhalation releases tension."
3. "You are now filled with the Breath of God. Take this inspiration and use it, be moved, and do something."
