This is Jesse Stern with Episode 150, Inspiration.

In many languages and cultures, the words for 'spirit' and 'breath' are closely related. The Latin words spiritus (spirit) and spirare (to breathe) give us English words like inspire (to enter breath), expire (to exit breath), and respiration (to cycle breath).

Note that these words are not related to desperation, which comes from sperare (to hope).

In today's meditation, we focus on each breath, each inspiration.

Thus, even after a painful or difficult event has ended, we may continue to feel elevated heart rate or nervous system, a sense of high alert, or a persistent thought that something bad will happen. By resetting our stress response, we cultivate the release of old injuries and old stress responses, which in turn helps to cultivate a natural sleep cycle.

In today's meditation, we reset our stress response.
