“Simply pause and take three, slow, full breaths. Deep and settling. With nothing whatsoever in mind. The first can flush your previous routes and concerns. The second can restore clarity of presence in your torso and body. The third will nourish and envitalize you. Simply pause, and take three, slow, deep breaths. Remember the powers of breathing, and bring them back to your common experience, especially in a moment of turmoil or crisis.”
