Today, I’m bringing you another contribution from the Project’s weekly seminars.  For those of you who are used to a taste of the seminars in the form of 10 minute body meditations, today’s offering is the full meal deal, at 45 minutes long it’s a rich mix of science and embodiment practices, a deep dive focused on our experience of our most primal need to breathe, and how breath can function as a bridge between the conscious mind and the body.
