Grateful for My Breath: Connect with Your Life Force in 25 Minutes
“Your breath is a symbol for your life. It is a symbol not just of your life, in the sense of your physical body breathing and being alive. It also represents your life, energy or life force, which is why breath has universally been a symbol for spirit or chi or prana.”
Breathing is something we do every day without a second thought, but have you ever stopped to think about its deeper meaning? In this episode of 'Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity', host Serena takes you on a 25-minute journey that highlights the profound symbolism of breath. More than just a physical necessity, breath represents life energy, or what some traditions call qi or prana.
Serena guides you through a series of affirmations designed to deepen your connection to this vital life force.
