You know the feeling of holding your breath...everything slows down, and your heartbeat becomes louder, nerves rush over you and all in that brief moment. we hold our breath when we are scared, about to jump into a body of water, or I guess trying to get rid of hiccups...but nevertheless, that feeling is intense and distinct.
Deciding to move back was easy. It was as if you were allowed the release of a huge breath and it felt natural.
I guess sometimes its good to build up nerves and/or energy; we all somewhat crave the rush and it can help to motivate us for the next step. Come what may. But nevertheless, we need to remember to breathe. Yoga teaches to take deep, fulfilling breaths, in and out through out nose- as to slowly fill up our chest and stomach...and expelling out slowly, with power- making sure to rid yourself of any stale breath that may be left behind.
Life is like that too. We sometimes do things too quickly- as in take short breaths, which may satisfy the instant, but only that. In the long run- with short breaths we find ourselves winded. Thoughtful, strong and steady, filling breaths (decisions) are complimented with satisfied and abundant results.
Just a thought, and a breath.
