The most useful tool I learned while living at Ryutaku-ji a Zen Monastery, in Mishima, Japan was to become aware of my breath. Breath is something I took for granted and rarely thought about. It was only when it became difficult to breath that I was jolted into realizing that breath sustains life. Through awareness and practice I learned to sink my breath to my abdomen and connect with mother earth. Conscious breathing allows me feel part of something bigger than myself. It helps me remember that I am not separate. All living creatures are breathing and want to be happy and unafraid.
