Begin with a breath

The outside world comes in.

Each breath brings your body into contact with the air around you.

In your lungs, oxygen moves from inhaled air into the blood. Carbon dioxide moves the other way and leaves when you breathe out.

Breathing involves more than the lungs. The diaphragm, chest muscles, airways and blood vessels all play a part.

That makes air a real connection between the body and its surroundings. The next Track steps outside to examine what the air can carry.

Original Chart, row 9 · TMLFoY Master Workbook v1. Transcribed wording is preserved below; the original chart image remains canonical.

Organs: Heart & Circulatory system; Lungs; Shoulders & arms; Ribs/breasts; Diaphragm; Thymus gland.
Emotional issues: Love; Negative Attitudes; Loneliness; Commitment; Forgiveness; Compassion; Hope; Trust
Physical issues: Heart disease; Respiratory illnesses; Upper back; Breast cancer

This is Jeremy’s organizing framework, not a medical classification or evidence of chakra effects. The discoveries are a separately sourced TMLFoY expansion. An entry here does not establish an emotional cause of disease.

The present Tracks explore circulation, lungs, food, movement, blood pressure and air. The other original entries are preserved, not represented as completed research.
