breathing

In the inhalation and exhalation there is an energy and a lively divine spirit, since He, through his spirit supports the breath of life, giving courage to the people who are in the earth and spirit to those who walk on it.

Pranayama is the practice of breath control. The word prana refers not only to breath, but also to air and life itself.

And when I breathed, my breath was lightning.

What can we do but keep on breathing in and out, modest and willing, and in our places?

Breathe.  Let go.  And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness; but still will keep. A bower for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing

It is only in the space that our thoughts and our feelings enclose that our happiness can breathe in freedom.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

For breath is life, and if you breathe well you will live long on earth.

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.
