That is fascinating! I believe you’re right, in the sense that breathwork is essential. By engaging with the notion of being mindful and being truly present, one allows oneself to bring about personal change and growth. We are often trying to be like farmers when we are tending to our crops (i.e. responsibilities, relationships, etc.) We allow our plants to grow, and we line them up in order. We make sure they get what they need to flourish. Survival is one thing, but thriving is an entirely different thing that requires effort— and breathing.
