“Change happens.
Loss happens.
With or without your input.
Afraid you’ll fall, you’ll fail,
You’ll flail, you’ll falter.
The more you fall, the sooner you learn
How to recover, repair, rebuild.
The more you flail
Or falter, the more you get
How to regain equilibrium.
The more you fail, the more you see
Success demands—requires—
Failure.

Make a move.
Now.
Or now.

Take a breath.
Catch a breeze.
Like riding a bicycle
Your legs going round and round
Will build strength
Gain balance
Find a way.
Forward.
Beyond thought.
Beyond instruction.
The internal systems
Never forget.

You just have to
Make a move.”
― Shellen Lubin

Some days, even after all the planning -
the outcome feels unclear.

That’s when I pause.

Trust in the process.
Trust in people.

One deep breath.
That’s where leadership begins.”

Breathwork & Board Meetings :
Not so different

Breathwork & Board Meetings :
Not so different

You sit still and watch the chaos in your head.

In Board meetings,
You sit still and watch the chaos in the room.

In both, the breath helps.
Stillness is a strategy.”

“They also noticed that negative thoughts like anger or hatred, or thoughts of vice like promiscuity, lust, etc, disrupted the smooth flow of breathing: the breath grew ragged, heavy and uneven. Moreover, thoughts also triggered physical sensations on the surface of the skin that matched the thought. If one reacted to the sensations by scratching or acting on the sensation, then the sensations would increase and support that thought.
“Similarly, as a reaction to an external stimulant, let’s say a word, the sense of hearing would come into play and then the subconscious mind would interpret it with the conditioning of the society. If the word was pleasant, the sensations generated would be pleasant and if it were an abuse, the sensations would be unpleasant and so on. The immediate reaction of a ‘normal’ person would be to retaliate with an equally offensive word. But the rishis realized that if they merely observed the sensation, it would eventually go away and the thought associated with the reaction, weakened. Over a period of time, the reactive thoughts would completely die out and one would rationally respond to a situation. Most importantly, this resulted in inner peace.”
― Ajay Chaturvedi, Lost Wisdom of the Swastika

“This notion of a vital force knows no single home, no lone epoch. It resounds in the ancient East as the breath of being, in indigenous rites honoring the earth’s spirit, in the quests of early thinkers to name the spark of life. Wilhelm Reich, a seer across psychology and science, reframed this timeless thread, naming it orgone and tying it to the body’s silent rhythms, to the pulse beneath our skin.”
― Laurence Galian, Crossing the Forbidden Highway: The Untold Story of Orgone, Body Therapy, and Suppressed Emotion

“As the Count leaned over me and his hands touched me, I could not repress a shudder. It may have been that his breath was rank, but a horrible feeling of nausea came over me, which, do what I would, I could not conceal. The Count, evidently noticing it, drew back; and with a grim sort of smile, which showed more than he had yet done his protuberant teeth, sat himself down again on his own side of the fireplace. We were both silent for a while; and as I looked towards the window I saw the first dim streak of the coming dawn. There seemed a strange stillness over everything; but as I listened I heard as if from down below in the valley the howling of many wolves.”
― Bram Stoker, Bram Stoker's Dracula
