![]() “To stop your mind does not mean to stop the activities of the mind. It means your mind pervades your whole body." - Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Master "Happiness is not an individual matter. When you are able to bring relief, or bring back the smile to one person, not only that person profits, but you also profit. The deepest happiness you can have comes from that capacity to help relieve the suffering of others. So if we have the habit of being peace, then there is a natural tendency for us to go in the direction of service.” - Thich Nhat Hanh |

The Power of the Pause: Breathing Room Online Free class for returning & retuning with 360 Degree Breathing With so much anxiety and uncertainty presently in the world, the return to the breathing body in the company of others online is a much-needed soulful sanctuary and an oasis of calm, clarity and ease. These hour-long online gatherings are guided in real-time to offer a practical experience of collaborating with your breathing to dissipate anxiety and stabilize attention. The session will consist of a 5-minute introduction, a 45-minute experience with a primary focus on 360 degree breathing and individual variations, and 10 minutes for reflection. Give yourself the gift of a pause and journey inside your breathing body! Please watch this 2 minute 3D view of diaphragm video before the session to get an inside view of what we will be exploring. Breathing Room began as 7 days of breathing room in mid-March 2020 as the pandemic struck the global community. 7 consecutive days of these drop-in sessions were offered to help lower the collective anxiety level, and then continued over the next 5 months as a free and by donation class series called Thinking Body, Sensing Mind. Since September 2020, Thinking Body, Sensing Mind has become an ongoing sliding scale class series. Breathing Room continues to be a free, drop-in event open to all levels of experience.
