One of the first things that we lean about within the pagan/wiccan religion or path is about meditation. The connection to oneself. The first Key to Meditating is breathing. It's funny how something SO simple, can be so important. Magical ceremonies usually start and end in the direction of Air, so it's just fitting to start the journey on this path with air, and breathing. Powerful breathing is the first step to a thriving magical practice.
"Good, deep breathing has healthful benefits. It helps you to relax. A good breath contributes to sustaining the body by nourishing the blood supply and the cells with oxygen. In essence, human live needs air." ~Timmothy Roderick "Wicca: A year and A Day"
To form a "Correct" breath, you need to breath slowly, and focus on drawing the air in and down. You really want to think about your belly filling with air, and your back expanding at the same time. When you exhale, think about letting it go naturally, but just as slow as the inhale.
Today, I am taking the time to focus on my breathing. I know that it is important to understand breathing and how it works. It is the first part of meditation, which I want to become very strong in, as it is one of the cores to a strong magical practice. I plan on spending quite a bit of time today taking deep, powerful breaths. This way, I can prepare for strong, good meditations.
~Love and Light!
