10 years old, barefoot on cool tiles, watching my grandmother water jasmine. She never called it meditation, she showed me how mountains breathe

Years later in yoga class: 'find your breath.' I already knew. Abuela taught me

👑 To everyone grieving a partner or soulmate this holiday season: It’s okay if the holidays hurt. That feeling is heavy, and it is real.

Grief is love with nowhere to land. That big sadness gets trapped inside your body, making your chest feel tight.

Your best tool is your breath. You do not need hours to meditate. You just need to breathe slow.

Try this simple trick:

Stop. Sit down and feel your feet on the floor.

In: Breathe in slow for 4 counts.

Out: Breathe out slow for 6 counts.

Three slow breaths tell your body: "I am safe right now." This small release helps sadness flow out, bringing calm back. Give yourself permission to pause and breathe today.

Breathe slow. FLOW.

First Aid for stress or anxiety: 🌬 breathe consciously...

Breathing is one of those systems that works both unconsciously and consciously. So it's a great bridge between us and our nervous system.

Level 1: Observe your breath.

Just tune in to your breath. No need to change, judge, or label anything. Closing your eyes can help, but it's not necessary.

Level 2: Lengthen your exhale.

Any time our exhale is longer than our inhale, we activate the parasympathetic branch of our nervous system. This one's in charge of our 'rest & digest' mode, so our heart rate and blood pressure go down.

Level 3: The physiological sigh

This has the same effect as level 2 but works much faster. Inhale through your nose as deeply as you can. Then inhale a little more. Exhale through your mouth as slowly as possible, ideally with an audible sigh or hum.

These techniques help us relax and strengthen our vagal tone: the connection between our brain and our body. And the more often we do them, the mosr cumulative effect we get.

Luckily, there's a simple way to make this a sustainable habit. Curious? Just click the link and check out the slides from my talk on this at MOME Open earlier this month.

Thank you for being here! And thank you for taking care of yourself. 🙏🏼

And thank you Fanni, Máté, and Froukje for inviting me to give this talk all the way in Budapest! And thank you Jens for that lovely photo of me ☺️

We're doing great, love 🙏🏼

Trying to get a vehicle in for service...

Aaaand the other vehicle is stuck in neutral, the car won't turn over, and the shift release won't... you know... release the shifter.

I mean, total #FirstWorldProblems, and I'm pretty freaking blessed that this amounts to a frustrating night of inconvenience, rather than a catastrophic job-loss or life-threatening situation.

I'm sitting in the nonfunctional car, tooting my frustration while my spouse calls AAA and I do #breathwork to regulate.

Night spirals meet slow exhales. Create a sleep garden in Zen Courtyard and ask the AI Buddha for a 90-second wind-down.
