GREAT thought. Art inside. I just breathed fuller. I imagine that is what our inside looks like when we hold our inhale in kumbaka pranayama. Such a fragile creation, each time we hold the inhale. Then we let it go and start all over again. I wonder what a sculpture of the exhale would look like.
As for the sculpture...Kira has introduced me to the magic of the Google Image search for times when I want to say something with an image. I searched for the phrase, "the breath inside the breath" just to see what would come up. I felt kind of silly but then right away at the very top was this literally breathtaking photo! | |

I actually copied the image to my iTouch and shared it in class the next day as a way into thinking of the practice as art and also that we get caught up in the beauty of the external body but look how inspiringly beautiful the body inside is? Thanks for the awesome "search" discovery. | |
