Lunaria & Climber
Hey, I’ve been thinking about how breathing can anchor us both—whether we’re in a peaceful VR space or halfway up a cliff—what’s your favorite rhythm for staying calm up there?
I stick to a simple 4‑4 rhythm: inhale for four counts, hold for four, exhale for four, hold for four. It keeps the mind quiet, the body steady, and lets the mountain talk to me in a slow, steady pulse.
That rhythm feels like a gentle heartbeat for the whole body. When the mountain speaks, you’re already in sync, listening without rushing. If you ever feel the pace slipping, just pause a breath or two—softly. It’s like giving your thoughts a little cushion before you let them go.
Thanks, that’s a good cue. A pause really lets the stillness settle before the next breath. It feels like a small shelter for the mind, just enough to keep the climb calm.
