"Pahinga" means more than just "rest" | Hive PH Blogging Contest Entry
What's your favorite Filipino word or phrase, and what does it mean?
We have a Filipino word that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit – “Pahinga”
On the surface level, it simply means “to rest” and is related to pausing, waiting, or stopping for a time. Often, when our loved ones pass away, we say, “Nagpahinga na siya.”
“They rested,” and I love the expression that death is the true expression of relaxation. No longer burdened by the fragility of our bodies. No longer weighed down by the stresses of daily life. Ironically, the breath that we lose from dying is in the word itself, “hinga,” which I find fascinating.
“Pahinga” contains life and death – the natural passage of a human’s existence. In religion, it is with God’s breath that we are created and in reality, we all take our last breath. It is inevitable that our lungs give out and eventually we leave this planet.
In psychology, mindful breathing is used as an anchor to the present moment, which lessens anxiety and calms down our nervous system. Our overactive mind could entertain several thoughts, solving problems, taking in information, reinforcing new data, which overloads it, causing many negative consequences. By simply noticing how we breathe, we can return to a more restful state.
Kaya hinga muna, kapatid.
It’s free and it’s always available for you.
Let’s just breathe… okay?
Hinga muna, saka na isipin ang mga ibang bagay. Breathe in… and out.
I know you didn’t do it! Kaya let’s try again, okay?
Breathe in…
And out…
Nice job! Hahaha! I’m proud of you for breathing 🤣😁
Pahinga is just one word, but it’s meaning can be explored deeper. When I think of this word, I can picture afternoon naps with the mattress on the floor, an electric fan blowing directly at my face, and nakadaklay ako sa unan (side-sleeping and putting the pillow under my leg).
Pahinga looks like making myself a cup of coffee and standing by the terrace with a pondering look.
Pahinga sounds like the crinkling of dried leaves under my shoes and sitting on an open field at sunset.
It's jazz music and munching on cheese bread.
It’s dipping my paint brushes into assortment of colors.
Thank you for reading my entry 💜

Love, my kind of pahinga is sitting on the sand at the beach with my cup of coffee on my hand while aimlessly watching birds fly by or listen to the sound of the waves. Wish you were here.
It's always a joy to see you do this pahinga in your IG stories and I keep wondering what it would feel like if I'm there too. Longing for your presence! 😊
Pahinga ~ so you ish 😉
Tama nga naman, we need to pahinga pa minsan2x, if not everytime. The world is so hectic, we need to at least take a break once in a while, so we can continue with a fresh mind.
My kind of pahinga is to just sit under the covers, watching anime and just think nothing~
Parang naiimagine ko ito for you wittyyy 😍🤗 Tas cuddle weather pa hihihi
And I remember the feeling when I told someone that He is my pahinga.❤️
With all the noises of the world, we really need pahinga.
How sweet! Yes, pahinga can be a person, a place, or an activity basta you feel at ease and comfortable 🤗
Break muna.. Huwag work lang ng work palagi. We all need a break whatever thing we do then. So for that I agree with you on that note. Ingatz palagi. God bless.
@ishwoundedhealer...
You know that #wordsarehard... Your explanations so refreshing, descriptive, and offers a perfect analogy, for the word you are trying to describe...
I love the vibe of "Just Breathe"... you should read some of the energy created by @dreemsteem (sorry for the PING dear)...
#fivebreaths... If you haven't, I'd say go check out the Dreemport... It will make sense... Oh! Chiming in with @xyz.store (again... apologies for the PING). I love your content... you already knew that. I am certainly not telling you how to create content... But I would implore upon you to consider some different sourcing techniques. It helps to elevate the awesomesauce of your content... and I KNOW that's what you are all about! Check out this post, from my soul brother @jamerussell:
https://peakd.com/theterminal/@jamerussell/easy-and-correct-minimal-sourcing
I use PeakD and love the ability to create "Templates"; you can add all of your favorite banners, footers, and also default sourcing. Something like, "All content is mine unless otherwise stated". Something like that... As you can see in that link above, the main idea is to provide a link that takes you directly to the source. Anyway... if you need some help, just hit me up here... or on Discord at Wes Philbin#5391. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
