This is great advice. I've been using breath to help me for years but only recently I've discovered that I was also breathing wrong (high into my chest instead of deep into my belly).
Just yesterday (International Jazz Appreciation Day btw - I don't know if that was intentional on your behalf but if not, perfect coincidence!) I used it to relax and partially realign the upper half of my spine, which is constantly clenched and aching.
I'm curious if you've ever come across the book Breath by James Nestor? It's one of the most fascinating things I've ever read!
You taught me how to breathe, how to stop and be in the moment, breathe out and allow yourself to let go of all that no longer serves you and then breathe in all that is good.
Your post makes visible the invisible threads- yours to your parents and childhood and to life itself. It’s been lovely to sit with this in reflection since yesterday. Thank you.
