Hello gang,
Would you sit with me for a moment?
Let’s not do anything fancy. Let’s just breathe.
In,
Out,
In again.
You’d be surprised how often we forget to do it properly. Our clever bodies keep us going, but when we stop and actually notice the breath coming in and going out, something lovely begins to happen.
I made a short video for you. It’s just me breathing. That’s all. But if you watch it and breathe along with me, something gentle will shift inside you.
Take two minutes with me. That’s all. You don’t need to fix anything. Just follow the rhythm and let yourself settle.
What’s so special about just breathing?
Breathing mindfully does more than calm you down. It’s like a secret switch inside your body and brain that can change everything. Here’s what happens when we slow down and breathe on purpose:
You bring more oxygen to your brain This helps you think more clearly and make better decisions. Like giving your mind a little clean window to look through.
Your nervous system softens Breathing deeply tells your body that you’re safe. It takes you out of ‘fight or flight’ and brings you into ‘rest and restore.’
Your heart slows down a little And when your heart slows down, your whole body listens. Muscles let go. Shoulders drop. Jaws unclench. It feels like coming home to yourself.
Your thoughts get quieter They might still be there, but they stop shouting. You get a little space between what you feel and what you do next.
You return to the moment you’re in That’s where your power is. Right here. Not in the next thing or the last thing. But here, with your feet on the floor and your lungs gently filling and emptying.
Before you go…
You are allowed to stop.
Even when the world says keep going.
Even when you feel behind.
Even when everything is noisy.
You are allowed to take two minutes.
You are allowed to take a breath.
You are allowed to be kind to yourself.
I’ll be right here, breathing with you.
Go softly on.
With love,
Jomo 🐵💛
