Breath Expression as Art
Any form of expression through breath that we allow to come and go on its own, can be experienced as a piece of art. How does this expression happen?
When we participate in allowing our inhalation to become fulfilled, we can experience a transition—a transformation—into exhalation, where our expression unfolds. At first I sense my exhalation forming and informing me through my inner body. Then my expression comes through my inner Self into the outer world—as a response to the gift of breath that I have received.
Expression can happen through any medium—movement that comes out of breath into:
- Dance
- Art
- Music
- Sounds, syllables, words, speech
(that take on new meanings when they become embodied through sensing breath movement) - Writing
- Theater
- Athletics
- Gardening
- Cooking
- Washing dishes
- Making connections in business and personal relationships
With breath that comes and goes on its own, and with our full participation in experiencing it’s movement. Any conflicts within ourselves and with others can be transformed into life-giving force and artistic expression.
Any one who can sense and experience the movement of breath can see themselves and be seen as an artist.
