The practice

place a hand flat on your chest. Press slightly. Feel three full breaths rise under your palm. Say — silently is fine — still here. That's the entire practice. It is enough.

Where this idea comes from

  • Ruach, pneuma, spiritus — breath and spirit share a word; Sanskrit atman, from the root meaning to breathe
