on breath...

“Awareness and control of the breath are the essential keys for understanding and developing the higher mind, because they form a very powerful and natural way to connect both inner and outer sources of the vital life-force energy”

Pleiadian Wisdom for a World in Chaos

I am loving revisiting this book from Barbara Marciniak. It reinforces the extraordinary value of practising yoga and developing breath attention in these intense transitionary times in which we are living.

Our breath is one of the ‘bridges’ between the unconscious and conscious minds, similarly traversing both the unconscious and conscious nervous systems (we can either breathe unconsciously or consciously).

Practising simple breath awareness techniques can benefit us in so many ways :

“By focusing your attention, you can use your breath to stabilise yourself, to have more energy and enhance your nervous system, to create beneficial brain wave patterns, and to travel into the interior of your being to acquire transcendent knowledge and information from a source beyond your linear view of the world”
Barbara Marciniak

Practising yoga develops breath awareness and attention, not only for the time we are on the mat, but extending beyond that time, into our daily lives.
