Since you can’t see, hold, or touch your breath, there are a lot of questions about how it can support mental and physical health. But, a method you can use to unveil the breath’s ability to cultivate emotional awareness (one way it supports mental health) is by giving it a shape by drawing it.

When you do decide to bring awareness to your breath’s ebbs-and-flows before a meeting, not only your brain but your second brain, your peripheral nervous system, gives you information about what is working and isn’t working in the present moment.
