The inward/outward breath focus is such a helpful image for so many aspects of life. What enters my head immediately is my need to balance my energy: sometimes I need to "breathe in" words, inspiration, beauty - and sometimes, I need to "breathe out" art, writing, and more. In our consumerist culture especially, it's so easy to get stuck in the inward-mode - consuming information and images - to the detriment of our time spent in a production mindset.
what a wonderful article! thank you!
i only just posted this article on God’s sacred breath, as explored in the Hebrew scriptures yesterday! i thought maybe you’d find it interesting!?

I love that perspective of exhalation as a way to resist consumption and focus on creative energies.
