Deeper, please. Do not be afraid

Keep
breathing

it really is
all about breath

Breath is the most innate wisdom of body in action
uninhibited breath is opening, balancing, creating space
freedom in breath calls us into this moment
and sheds light of understanding on everything in view

Breath is life
it is the exquisite union of our bodies and the universe
it is how we are alive and connected, how we are one
With every single breath
we merge with the world

When we breathe consciously,
acknowledging all that we are
our breathing is a prayer that is so alive
that it goes on and on and on
and with this we can do anything, heal anything, be anything

in fear, keep breathing
in overwhelming recognition, keep breathing
in pain, keep breathing
in the heights of love, keep breathing
it's okay, let it all out
it's okay, let it all in

in everything, keep breathing
this is the practice of presence

how are you breathing?

Do it now: breathe deep and full into your heart and belly
and seat of your spine
and know
the Divine flows within you
everything has purpose
you are capable of your wildest dreams

when we allow what is and hold everything with love
we shine and our light pervades all

how we breathe is how we live
