In our busy, often chaotic lives, it’s easy to overlook the quiet power of the breath. Yet, the breath is a constant companion, a tool that can ground us, heal us, and connect us to the present moment. The largest breath we take is when we are born, and the longest exhalation we take is when we die.

It’s an invitation to reawaken self-care—not as an indulgence but as a vital act of self-love.
