BREATHE BROTHER, BREATHE

Have you ever noticed that when you take a deep breath, you can't think at the same time? Go ahead and try it, close your eyes, settle in and take a deep, slow inward breath. Try to feel that breath enter your body and then stop for no more than a second before exhaling. Let it out slowly and then do it once more. During the minute that it takes to take two full breaths, notice that your mind quiets, the internal voice stops for that minute, you can almost hear your body saying "thank you" as it heals itself.
It's just a suggestion, but this might be a nice treat to give ourselves, several times a day.
