I never really understood the power of taking deep breaths calming one down until about 3 days ago.

Last Tuesday– apparently it was a full moon. And, since that day I have been actually feeling a bit uneasy, and anxious. I was spending some time trying to “figure out life” and got caught up in this frenzy.

I do not like getting into this rut. It makes me unbalanced and agitated and annoyed. So I made a conscious decision to do a yoga practice and practice a breathing mediation for  5 minutes after that.

I did this for two days after that as well.. Lo and behold, its amazing how much the power of deep breathing has. You feel more balanced, centered, and grounded and safe.

I realized, through the practice that every change– whether good or bad (in our eyes) is a stepping stone for building ourselves, to make ourselves stronger, and  improve upon something.

But even that so called “bad” change happens for our benefit as there is something better out there.

My body and mind, wanted me to slow down. And this is really hard for me. But patience and surrender are the two things that I strongly believe I need to work on in this lifetime. As they take you across this ocean of life.

So, here is to practicing and getting down on the mat everyday, and being mindful.

Apparently that full moon was the beginning for my zodiac sign to really focus on releasing past patterns and traumas. Thought that was an interesting coincidence. The only reason I call it a coincidence is because I don’t really believe in astrology, so hence I labeled it that way.

So, take a deep breath. We tend to build things up in our heads, and all the thoughts are generated from a place of imagination.

Love,
