Your experience of your first breath was at your birth. In your mother's womb warm liquid, a dark or semi-dark environment surrounded you and any sound you heard was muffled. Then a doctor will often cut the umbilical cord before you have had a chance to take your first breath spontaneously. This is your first experience of life. In that moment, you may make many decisions, which will affect the rest of your life.
Many people choose to suppress their aliveness, and are never fully present in their lives.
Some people may choose to overcompensate for what they feel is lacking in their lives and so may appear very together and happy on the outside but are also looking for that which will make them feel whole and complete. Holding your breath then causes unexpressed emotions to get pushed into the cells in your body. The good news is that we can do something about this. We can learn from our birth experience. Our birth has made us who we are today and there are many gifts to be attained from this powerful experience.
