I still continue with my drawing. I’ve created some quite beautiful pieces, but the one I always go back to and pray for is my Vortex 🌪️ 9. It’s my second painting, and I truly feel like it came from my higher self. While I was creating it, I didn’t even realize what I was drawing until the painting was finished. ⚜️

One idea stood out: retirement, weakness, and stillness are not opposites of strength or activity — they are part of the same cycle. In Taoist thinking, true action doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it means stepping back, allowing things to unfold, and returning to a simpler state. “Heaven and earth and everything are produced from existence, but existence itself comes from nonexistence.” A reminder that not everything needs force to move forward.

Greetings all! My name is Erik and I have been using breathwork in some form or another for several years as it has helped me through all of my difficult times as an adult. I tell people every chance I get about how important their breath is. I live in South Central Pennsylvania and aside from being ridiculously passionate about breathwork, I ride my bike, mountain and gravel, to an obsessive degree. It is my happy place where I happily breath all types of rhythms and patterns. The most interesting place I took meditative breaths was at the rim of the Grand Canyon along out along the edge...the Universe spoke to me during that moment...I think about it every day. Cheers 🤙

WIM HOF BREATHING 3 ROUNDS & ancestralspringsalt.com 🔥

I just got back from 3 days off-grid on a friend's homestead in the Amazon jungle. I didn't go looking for answers - I went looking for space. Space from the noise, the screen, the relentless forward motion of building something and proving something and becoming something. What I found was simple: we cannot access the best of ourselves when every margin of our lives is full. The breath between stimulus and response - that's where your clarity lives. That's where your gifts live. That's where you live, in the moment that is here & now, forever. We talk a lot in this community about regulation, about performance, about showing up fully. But none of that is possible without the space to actually land in yourself first. So this week, I want to ask you — not as a challenge, but as an honest question: where in your life can you create a little more conscious space? What might you be ready to let go of to create it? Step by step. Breath by breath. We are - Somos. Keep Breathing 🌿
