Chapter 2: Innocence
Breathing is Action
Today I’m launching a new long-form podcast episode for the introduction of the second chapter. Breathing is Action now begins its journey with affirmations aimed at addressing developmental needs throughout the lifespan. The meditations in Chapter 2 start at the very beginning and take inspirations from the many life lessons or challenges we encounter during infancy, which is why the name of the chapter is called Innocence. I also take some time to refresh the audience on the goals of the podcast and how the future meditation library can be used. As always, have fun and take good care of...

Chapter 1: Resilience
Breathing is Action
Resilience is the fourth and final meditation for Chapter 1: Emotional First Aid Kit. What first comes to mind when you see the word resilience? Resilience is a nuanced concept. Resilience is more than just courage or confidence. It is more than just being disciplined, showing up and putting in the effort. It includes qualities like determination and adaptability. Most importantly, resilience is our ability to encounter challenges or adversity, to rise above to continue moving forward. Being resilient is being capable of learning from our mistakes or from dark periods of our life; to use the...

Chapter 1: Navigating Sadness
Breathing is Action
Navigating Sadness is the third meditation for Chapter 1: Emotional First Aid Kit. Emotions give us insight and information about ourselves and our needs, and sadness is of no exception. Sadness is deeply uncomfortable and often times more unpleasant to feel than anger. While anger can sometimes provide us with a sense of strength and motivation, sadness is the opposite. Sadness brings us face to face with our heartache. It often asks us to stop, rest and isolate. It is a vulnerable state and that doesn’t always feel very safe. Somewhere along the way, we might’ve learned that outwardly...

Chapter 1: Navigating Anger
Breathing is Action
NAVIGATING ANGER is the second meditation for Chapter 1: Emotional First Aid Kit One of the reasons why I would like to heal our relationship with anger is because it is an emotion that holds a tremendous amount of valuable information. Anger gives us insight into what our values are. It tells us if we feel we are being wronged or violated in some way. Anger is a motivator emotion and inspires people to take action and make changes. We can try acknowledging our anger and expressing it in safe ways. We can yell into a pillow. We can push all the energy through strenuous physical activity...

Chapter 1: Self-Love
Breathing is Action
SELF-LOVE is the first meditation of Chapter 1: Emotional First Aid Kit. Self-love is the building blocks of wellbeing. In a perfect world, every person and child is surrounded by love, acceptance, protection and care. Because of our imperfect world, some individuals would benefit by being able to create authentic love inwardly for themselves. I hope these affirmations can help create a positive and loving internal dialogue. BREATHING IS ACTION will be a large library of small, 5-minute meditations that can be stacked one after another. Listeners can customize the length of the meditation, as...
