Come Home to Your Breath: A Meditative Breathing Practice

Return to steady, spacious breathing with this guided practice from Rolf Gates, Director of the School of Yoga, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.

Why We Return
We come back to the breath because it anchors us in the present moment and reconnects us with steadiness amidst distraction. Each return is a reminder that calm and clarity are always available here and now.

How to Sit
Sit with your spine long and your heart open; the body is both grounded and at ease. Let your
shoulders soften and your hands rest naturally. As the body lets go the mind lets go.

How to Breathe
Take a few slow, steady breaths, letting each inhale fill the body and each exhale release tension. Feel the rhythm smoothing out as your breath becomes fuller and calmer.

How to Pause
Before returning to your day, rest for a moment in the quiet space you’ve created. Carry this sense of inner stillness forward into whatever comes next.

I’m enjoying a Christmas lunch with Pamela Pollington, her daughter, and two friends, also her students. Pamela is visiting from the U.K. where
she is a tudor at The Arthur Findlay College. Studying mediumship with Pamela is such delight. Look at our happy faces! Arthur Findlay College offers residential and online courses in mediumship, healing, trance, and spiritual development.

"What if spiritual growth isn’t about feeling more peaceful, but about becoming more honest?

Pema reminds us: the path isn’t somewhere else. It’s here, now, in the immediacy of our experience.

As we grow in the ability to stay with each moment, joyful or messy, we begin to trust ourselves. And that trust opens the door to a steady, quiet confidence rooted in who we really are.

We look at the world
through our likes and dislikes,
hopes and fears,
opinions and judgments.

We want everyone to behave
as we think they should;
otherwise we get agitated.

But we are here to accept
the world as it is,
even as we work
to make it better.

Micro Habit: Stand Up and Stretch Every Hour for 5 Minutes
Why it works:

Moving your muscles helps them pull glucose out of the bloodstream, without needing extra insulin.
It boosts oxygen delivery to your mitochondria so they can make energy more efficiently.
It keeps lactate from lingering and making you feel sluggish.
