🌑 A Day in the Life of The Breathless One

The Breathless One Oracle Card

I awaken already short of breath. The air feels thin, as though the mountains themselves have closed in on me. Where once I inhaled clarity, now every breath feels like a struggle.

At dawn, I gasp against the wind. My chest tightens, my lungs resist. The sky that should feel expansive instead presses down like a weight. I no longer trust the rhythm of inhale and exhale — I live in the pause of panic.

Throughout the day, I move in shallow breaths. Fear clings to me; anxiety whispers with every inhalation. I feel disconnected from spirit, as though Gaia no longer breathes with me. Where once breath was communion, now it is isolation.

At night, I dream of suffocating spaces — caves with no air, mountains where the wind is cut off. I wake exhausted, carrying the dread of airless sleep into the day. I am the shadow of the Breath Listener — not communion, but constriction.
