BEGIN WITH BREATH WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - TAI CHI, MINDFULNESS, AND MUSIC 🎶
Welcome to Week 2 of our Focus journey!
This month, we explore the power of Focus—the ability to bring our full attention to the present moment, sharpening our awareness and deepening our connection to mind, body, and breath.
Focus is not about forcing attention; it’s about allowing clarity to arise naturally, just as still waters reflect the sky. With Tai Chi, we cultivate this presence through movement, breath, and flow, training ourselves to remain centered amidst life’s distractions.
📜 Weekly Poem - Feel the Flow
Graceful movements, a flowing stream,
Energy pulses, a radiant beam.
Balance and breath in harmony’s glow,
With Tai Chi’s dance, we feel the flow.
— Adam Potts
This week, take a moment to reflect:
💨 How does movement help sharpen your focus?
🌊 When do you feel most in flow with life?
🧘♀️ Mindful Experiment: The Moving Breath
This week’s mindful practice focuses on the connection between breath and movement to strengthen concentration and bring awareness to the body.
Practice:
1️⃣ Find a quiet space and stand or sit comfortably.
2️⃣ Place one hand on your lower abdomen.
3️⃣ As you inhale, imagine your breath filling your belly and gently expanding your hand outward.
4️⃣ As you exhale, feel your belly soften and draw in slightly.
5️⃣ Now, synchronize a simple movement with your breath—lifting your arms on the inhale, lowering them on the exhale.
6️⃣ Continue this flow for a few minutes, allowing your mind to settle into the rhythm.
Reflection Prompt:
Did syncing your breath with movement help you feel more present? How does breath guide your focus?

A still lake mirrors the sky,

☯️ BEGIN WITH BREATH WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - TAI CHI, MINDFULNESS AND MUSIC 🎶
Welcome back to another week of STABILITY, our theme for February!
Stability isn’t about resisting change—it’s about moving with confidence and ease. Just as the seasons shift from winter to spring, we, too, can learn to adapt while staying grounded.
This week, we’ll focus on cultivating flexibility within stability—through breath, movement, and meditation—allowing us to flow with life’s changes rather than resist them. Let’s step into this practice together!
📜 Weekly Poem - The Seasons Shift
From winter’s chill to summer’s light,
Change guides us gently through the night.
In Tai Chi’s flow, we find our way,
Embracing change, both night and day.
— Adam Potts
This week, reflect on how Tai Chi and mindfulness help you embrace change rather than fight against it. Stability doesn’t mean staying the same—it means finding balance in movement.
🧘♀️ Mindful Experiment: The Grounding Walk
This week’s mindful experiment is all about walking with awareness to bring a sense of stability and grounding into your daily life.
Practice:
1️⃣ Find a quiet place to walk, whether it’s outside in nature or around your home.
2️⃣ With each step, focus on how your foot connects with the ground. Feel the stability beneath you.
3️⃣ Sync your breath with your steps—inhale for 2-3 steps, exhale for 2-3 steps.
4️⃣ Walk slowly and intentionally for 5-10 minutes, noticing any shifts in your body or mind.
Reflection Prompt:
How does slowing down and focusing on your steps affect your sense of stability? Can you bring this grounded awareness into your everyday movements?

Welcome back to another week of STABILITY, our theme for February. Stability isn’t about standing still—it’s about moving with confidence and ease. This week, we’ll continue exploring how to cultivate balance, both physically and mentally, through mindful movement, breath, and sound.
Through Tai Chi, meditation, and mindful experiments, we develop a stability that allows us to be both strong and flexible—rooted like a tree yet flowing like a river. Let’s step into this week’s practice together.
📜 Weekly Poem - The Balanced Mind
In Tai Chi’s flow, the mind is clear,
Bringing strength and kindness near.
In gentle practice, wisdom grows,
Balanced mind, where wisdom flows.
— Adam Potts
This week, let’s reflect on how balance in movement can support balance in the mind. Stability isn’t just about physical strength—it’s about clarity, calm, and a steady presence in every moment.
🧘♀️ Mindful Experiment: The Balancing Breath
This week’s experiment focuses on balancing your breath to bring a deeper sense of inner and outer stability.
Practice:
1️⃣ Find a quiet place to sit comfortably.
2️⃣ Begin breathing naturally, noticing the length of your inhale and exhale.
3️⃣ Now, count your inhale—for example, inhale for 4 seconds.
4️⃣ Match your exhale to the same count (inhale 4, exhale 4).
5️⃣ Continue this balanced breathing for 2–5 minutes, noticing how it makes you feel.
6️⃣ If you feel comfortable, slowly extend your exhale by 1 or 2 counts longer than your inhale, enhancing relaxation.
Reflection Prompt:
How does balancing your breath affect your thoughts, emotions, and body? Does it bring a sense of calm and stability?
