Collection: Just Breathe.

Thoughts are key. They are the essential backbone of our very existence and what shows up for us in life (and how we perceive it). Having thoughts doesn't mean you can't meditate or be still. It means you have a functioning brain. Congrats.

Meditation.... focusing on the breath... is the tool by which you LEARN to become present and quiet and "observe" thoughts.

Staying present is so fundamental to our overall wellbeing.

When we are present, we get out of our heads and out of our own way. Focusing on our breath brings us back home to ourselves. To quiet. To peace. To detach from our thoughts that bug us and realize we are not our thoughts. We are the observer of them. They cannot consume us without our permission. The point isn’t to remove thoughts. It’s to observe them neutrally and let them pass. To learn focus and presence. To cultivate awareness. Equanimity. Relaxation. Sometimes, energy!

As with most things in life, subtle shifts in perception have the greatest power in fostering and ushering in change. All it takes is one moment in time, one pause.. one breath. During stress, challenges, fear... just breathe.  Just take one breath and go from there.  

Here's to your journey!
