Exhale to Emptiness

As the exhale leaves, my diaphragm relaxes and settles back under my ribs.  When I watch my breath and follow the exhale, that's where my attention goes.

The inhale seems to expand energy out in all directions - the exhale to draw everything back to a single point, which then vanishes.

When mind is attuned to breath, exhale can also lead mind to empty and become still.  The distracted mind becomes focused, then the object of focus vanishes into the space in the center.  The infinite possibility of emptiness, to be filled with the next breath, and a new path of thought.

Emptiness.  Space.  Freedom.  Possibility.
