Breathe It All Away

We can become quite scattered, quite disconnected within ourselves. Finding a technique or creating time to ‘fall back’ into our inner reserve can be more than helpful. It is not something people of this age find easy as there are sometimes just too many things going on. Breathing can be a useful tool. We overlook the fact that not only does it support our life, but the breath draws in energy. Adding this to our creative mind we can bring our attention to the ‘in’ breath drawing in our ‘life’ energy and the ‘out’ breath a releasing, letting go, detaching. We use this technique in all our meditations. The rhythmic pattern and feeling the moving breath is a very powerful mind tool we use to draw the mind away and towards a quietness, allowing us to gain strength, energy and clarity to manage our days. It may not be instant but it is a useful pathway for us.

About This recording

These offerings are unconditional with the hope that people find something that helps them. All recordings are made with a ‘live audience’ in streaming sessions. They begin with reflections intended to offer a fresh perspective on aspects of life. These are then followed by a guided meditation. We invite you share as you like!

About Pathlight Meditations

These recording are made by Pathlight Meditations, which began to teach meditation-mindfulness in the 1980s after many years exploring whole person development. At that stage, there were few culturally neutral forms of meditation openly available, so they created something practical to fulfill this need in their local community in Perth, Western Australia. They included traditional elements of Intention, Posture, Breathing and Mantra based on experience in India and with different Eastern practices, adapted to be more compatible with diverse personal belief systems.

You’re invited: Help co-create the future of Nova’s digital communities

After three years of sparking connection and dialogue around transformative ideas in health and flourishing, the Nova Integration Hub will be closing on November 12, 2026. We’re currently in the lab developing new online community building initiatives—and you’re invited to help shape what comes next.

From the beginning, the Hub was created as a communal space that would help break down silos and foster dialogue across disciplines. It has been an experiment in connecting the dots, and with over 42 member-created groups and 654 active discussions, it has been a meaningful gathering place—a space where so many of you have generously shared ideas, wisdom, and inspiration in service of a more integrated and compassionate approach to health and well‑being. That spirit will carry forward into our next chapter.

As we look ahead, our goal is simple: Continue to pilot innovative forums for broad audiences to engage with researchers, creatives, educators, clinicians, policymakers, advocates, community organizers, journalists—anyone who wants to make a change in the world. We want to provide welcoming opportunities for conversation that will foster belonging rather than othering. We want to make unexpected connections that will lead us to the next bold leaps forward in health. Above all, we aim to spark joy and optimism about what’s possible for the planet we share.

So, where shall we go next? Your feedback about the Hub is extraordinarily meaningful to us, so please RSVP to attend one of our upcoming virtual town halls on Wednesday, November 4 at 3 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time and Thursday, November 12 at 3 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. You may also submit comments in writing via our community listening form.

On behalf of the entire Nova team, we’re grateful for your participation, your curiosity, and your eagerness to share your perspectives on the Hub. Please visit Nova’s website at novainstituteforhealth.org and subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates.
