Breathing is our primary source of life-giving nourishment. Spending time appreciating and celebrating breathing is one of the many ways in to meditation.
It’s not necessary to breath in a certain way or pattern. Simply be with your breathing. Play with the sound of it if you like. Sound like the ocean. Sigh like the wind. Be as silent as snow falling in the dark of night. Let out a roar. Yawn. Follow where your breath takes you.
We inhale oxygen from plants, and exhale the carbon dioxide that plants need to survive. Breathing is the most simple act of giving and receiving.
