“The nervous system, at a pre-conscious level, is always asking: ‘Am I safe?’ The breath is one of the most powerful ways to send an answer.” – Dr. Stephen Porges

I am reminded time and time again that breath is not just a function - it is a guide.

Through conscious breathing, we can anchor into the body and soften the mind.

Breath invites awareness of what is present and can offer the nervous system signals of safety.

Each inhale and exhale are an invitation back to connection - with the body, with others, and with the world around us.

A heartfelt thank you to @oliviamoonwellness at @luminabreathwork for holding such a spacious, supportive container for us to expand on our awareness of the power of breath 💛🌬️
