Breath

I am always amazed at the power of breath.

Just three deep breathes and I can feel relaxation in my body. This is why breathing is such an important aspect to meditation. Through Breathing we bring in positive, relaxing energy and breathing out we release the tension and anxiety build up inside. I use the three breathes technique all throughout the day. When I'm driving in the car, (especially when driving in the car so that I do not became over-taken with rage/anger)when I'm blogging, when I'm reading, or even when I'm in the shower.

As Thich Nhat Hanh says:

Let us enjoy our breathing.
Breathing in--I feel I am alive.
Breathing out--I smile to life.
To Life…smiling to life
