Half my life ago, I participated in a massage training program. In it our primary instructor included breathing practices, like pranayama. Whatever came up in the process of receiving or giving massage, he encouraged us to breathe through—pain, pleasure, tension, ease all were to be met with breath.
In watching Leonard Cohen’s biopic, I discovered one of his intentions with his vastly popular hit song, Hallelujah shared that same intention. The poet, Rumi, encourages us similarly in his offering entitled The Guesthouse. Whatever we each phase, each moment in our life, is to be greeted like a guest, with breath, hallelujah, and may be a cup of tea.
What are you facing? Can you breathe with it, pour it a cup of tea, and say Hallelujah? Ki to Happiness shares the tea with you.
