Breathing Reflections

The past year’s reflections, by going through each month and individual weeks seeking out the emotions of happiness, sadness, anxieties, challenges the many feelings we have on the daily weekly monthly basis, for they are always changing.
The sad times of losing a loved one, a friend and anyone that was close but the important thing is, is how they contributed to your life, rejoicing in those wonderful memories, the fun, the emotional support that they gave you, the thoughts of them make the tears start to roll, is this the part of the grieving process, the clearing the clarification of the happiness they brought to us.  All these thoughts and feelings been etched in our minds never to be lost always to be felt in our moments of unsuspecting solitude. They should not be thoughts to bring you down, but positive thoughts of the love passion and admiration for these individuals that have left us.
Equally the times of happiness, the social gatherings and if you’re lucky the travels you've been on, the fun experience of laughter of those wonderful small events in your daily life. Waking up with a smile and sharing the chirpy good morning with people that you pass in your too throw of life, your coming and going, your ebb and flow.  Reflect upon the small things, the small interactions with others the fun that you shared, a comment, and a joke or just the body language of happiness, all these things the small little 1% that help us to be 100% mentally and physically balanced.  To help us with this to be consciously aware is our breathing and how it changes, how it changes and adapts to each given situation of happiness sadness. Informing us and potentially teaching us how to handle ourselves with these wonderful roller-coaster emotions of life.  It's not about controlling them or suppressing them it's about experiencing them and our breathing is a big part of it.  And by being aware of what our breath is doing in these moments it would naturally guide the body through these moments not letting the physical response to be excessive, not letting the mental response spiral out of control.  By feeling and listening to your breath and being consciously aware at all times with your emotions you could divert the negative, physical and cognitive build-ups.
