The idea behind this card — The breath
You're allowed to just breathe. In several old languages, the word for breath and the word for spirit are the same word.
GROUND — The sacred ordinary — the body and the day as holy ground

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
