Gustav Klimt, Philosophy (1900)
It’s the elixir of life. Without it we cannot exist.
Most of us breathe without thinking about it. If we slow the breath down and consciously breathe - deeply, deliberately with each inhale and each exhale the benefits become apparent. The mind begins to calm, the heartbeat becomes more rhythmic and the panic disappears.
Fight and flight is a normal bodily response to situations of discomfort. But living in the 21st Century with everything and everyone moving so much faster we bring this auto-mechanism response on more often than necessary causing us to feel stressed. Overstressed and exhausted. Burnt out and depressed.
Meditation helps us become aware of these situations before they get out of control, before they take control and create anguish and distress.
