Anchored by Breath

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

As I sit, I notice the subtle tension that arises when I get caught up in thoughts. A gentle nudge to focus on my breath helps calm this restlessness. I begin to breathe more fully, feeling my chest and belly rise and fall. In this simple, physical act, I find an anchor - something constant amidst the ebb and flow of emotions.
