And I think just like a drop of water on rock will eventually wear a pathway through it. It's the same with the breath that something so gentle and so obvious and so taken for granted when it's picked up and used as a conscious tool, has that kind of a power, a gentleness and an ease and a grace that really helps us navigate the darker corridors of our own psyche, the things that we're really would want to turn away from, the things that bring us the fear, the automatic sense of fight or flight that comes just by. Just by even thinking about it. So I really believe in using the breath in gentle ways. There's no point pushing the boat out so far.
