During this special day honoring love and friendship, I invite you to take a brief pause to simply notice your breathing.

Can you feel how each inhale followed by exhale expands your awareness to a more relaxed state and presence?

It is amazing how a merely couple of minutes placing attention to the breath, can release tension in the body and promote a calmer mind.

When this becomes a habit, it builds resilience that affects not only our nervous system, but overall health and vitality positively.

Just Breathe, for a pause and self-care.
