#14 Breathing & Authenticity

     As we become increasingly conscious of what's going on in our lives, we start seeing the discrepancies between our behavior, the image we want others to see, and who we feel we really are.
     This sense of dividedness may feel progressively more unacceptable. We all seem to be seeking integrity, congruence.
     Practicing awareness of the feel of the breath in our belly may be helpful. Movement outwards with inbreath is a model of the busy stuff of life, movement inwards with outbreath, our inner life. Investigating the nature of the still, silent center of this breath rhythm within the belly, may be surprisingly helpful.
     The still point is akin to the rudder and ballast of our sail boat. Our windswept life - our boat above the water.
