The breath of the day
Rhythm means balance: like day and night, we too need moments of light and stillness.
Daily rhythm nurtures trust and security in children. For adults, it becomes an exercise of self-education. Rhythm is the thread connecting soul and body. Simple rituals shape the day: waking with light, dedicating moments of silence, moving, creating, resting.
The Dove - Hilma af Klint - 1915
Self-education:
Morning: 5 minutes journaling – pick an intention word (e.g. courage, lightness, listening)
Midday: breath pause – 3 conscious breaths, close eyes if you can, feel body + space
Evening: gratitude + release – write three good things that happened + symbolically release with a gesture (a leaf, a game token, an offering to nature)
Which intention word guides me today?
When did I breathe deeply today?
What small joy held my heart today?
