Who this suits
People who think visually, and anyone who finds it easier to express than to observe.
When to use it
Works well with paper and pencil, but needs no materials at all.
A note on the approach
Drawing the breath externalises it. Instead of watching the breath internally — which can feel invasive or activating — the breath becomes a line, a curve, a shape on the page or in the air.
For this practice, we'll be exploring the idea of drawing the breath. This can be done in lots of ways, and you can choose what feels most supportive for you. You might use a piece of paper and a pencil or pen. You might trace shapes on the palm of your hand, on your leg, or in the air in front of you. You can even imagine the movement if that feels easier. There's no right choice here.
