Holy s**t Ian. This is such a beautiful description of breathing, and to connect it to materialism is making my brain spark like crazy. Thank you.
I think too about Traditional Chinese Medicine, and how the lungs/breath is connected to the element of metal and letting go. It's seen as being able to keep wood/liver in balance (creativity/vision), and is connected to grief. Maybe all the breath holding and the consumption is connected to being unable/unwelcome to shed our grief and pain.
And maybe through the breath (and tears), we can clear the way for this new vision we're all being asked to consider. Just my two cents, and fully a baby when it comes to TCM, haha.
Check the series on Hulu on strange rock with Will Smith. There's an episode on the very subject
Thanks. I’ll check that out!

I like it! Grief unacknowledged as the reason for the lack of release in our breath makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for sharing.
