Breath That Dissolves the World

Sit somewhere quiet, the room around you ordinary, the day's tasks set aside. Take a long slow breath out. As the breath leaves, sense the room itself loosening, the walls becoming less solid, the day's noise melting into space. With each fresh inhale, only the open space remains, holding everything inside it. Repeat for several breaths. The world has not actually gone anywhere. You have simply remembered that under every solid thing there is space, and under every breath there is the same quiet sky.
