Expansion

In life there is expansion. It comes in many forms.

But it's within our breath, where the inhale creates our broadening.

We become wide when we inhale but not just physically, when we breath, in we are actually inspiring. To breath is to Inspire, in every sense of the word,with the pun intended.

Through mindful breath, we inspire our minds to expand with our lungs. In this moment of each breath, we are aligning our head and heart physically, but we are broadening them emotionally as we breathe.

If we take the moment to be mindful as we inhale, we can actually feel our expansion emotionally and physically. In this mindfulness of observing our breath, we are becoming enlarged in every capacity. We are generating growth of self in the moment of inspire, which is inspiring to the self.

To Breathe out, is also expansion but as paradox. During exhale, we are physically releasing our breath, which leads to depletion. Without the release and depletion, we cannot make space for another inspiring moment.

Inhaling and exhaling are opposite for reason, they are yin and yang of each other. The paradox is that they must co-exist with each other in parallel. Both are needed, one cannot exist without the other and they are in fact co-dependent of each other.

Expansion has many facets and all aspects can create growth on any horizon for each of us. Be aware of the gift of expansion and learn to be mindful with this gift to find the true blessing in it.
