Today I wish to chat about the most powerful force we have to change any given moment – BREATHING…. Yes, the simple physical process that keeps us alive can also transform.

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to breathe when you are angry? Or how at night your body actually relaxes as you take in slower, deeper breaths?

Have you ever taken the time to notice how the people around you breathe? It is an interesting game to play. Today while you are out and about with others, notice their breath. Is it deep and slow, shallow and fast? Is there a connection to how they are moving, what they are doing?

It’s been my experience that people who are anxious, worried, angry, frustrated, etc.., breathe in shallow, choppy breaths. Their body’s are tight and their movements are rigid and hurried.

When I observe a person who seems at peace, happy, content, calm, etc.., I see deeper breaths with slower relaxed body movements.

Try this for yourself – as you go through your day, stop and breathe deeply and slowly. Hold the breath between the inhale and exhale for a few short seconds and then release very slowly. If you do this during a moment of frustration, you will experience the opportunity to shift, to let go, to release and choose to BE.

What do you feel and think when you hear the above statement?

What about this one, “Why are you so mad, it’s not that big of a deal?”, or “Get over it”, or “Can’t you just let it go”, or….

What would happen for you, if you felt safe to feel the emotions that come up? How would life change if you did not feel judged when you felt sad, angry, hurt, etc..?

Today I invite you to feel your emotions, do not allow others to shut them down. Instead lean into them, experience them, sink into their expression, as you do, they will release.

I also encourage you to experience the powerful connection available to you when you Truly Listen to someone sharing their emotions. Creating the Safe Place for them to BE.

Emotions make the world alive and dynamic – Being in our Emotions is the dance of life!

One of the grandest gifts about being human is the kaleidoscope of emotions we are graced to feel, share, and express. Why do we squelch this experience? Put a limit on its grand fullness?

Let me ask you a few simple questions –

Do you prefer to share time with someone who is joyfully engaged in life, or someone who is just going through the motions?

Do you enjoy spending time with someone who is honest with you about what they are feeling, or someone who always leaves you guessing?

Do you envy people who laugh freely, dance without fear, sing with joy, and are honest with themselves and others?

What are you sharing with the world?
