"Be. Here. Now." ~ Quote shared by Fellow Meditator Rick from Oklahoma Do you wonder when this whirlwind of what seems like continuous tumultuous events will end? Although the pandemic is ongoing, we have a breather from the long-drawn-out political elections in the United States. It's time to simply breathe. This week, I invite you to slow down and breathe with me all week long. You'll explore a different breathing technique in each episode to calm your emotional state. This is part 4 of a 7-part Simply Breathe meditation series, episodes 2159-2165. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Breathing Quest. Every day this week, notice your breath. In particular, notice the pause between your inhale and exhale. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: Day 1: Instant Om Breath Day 2: Calming Breath + Affirmation "I am."
