BRIDGE OF BREATH

Breath is the bridge
between the visible and the unseen.

It carries the body into presence
and the mind into quiet.

Each breath
is a small crossing.

Notice the simple rhythm
that is already there.

Breath arriving.
Breath leaving.

No effort is required.
Only attention.

In this quiet movement
the body remembers its centre.

Take three slow breaths.

Allow the shoulders to soften.
Allow the body to settle.

With each breath
feel the moment widen slightly.

The bridge is always here.
You simply step onto it.
