Deep breathing is a big part of your Well-being, because with that deep breath, there is activation on a cellular level.
In other words, it is the current that carries the vitality to the extremities of the cells.
And so, the more you are breathing, the more you are thriving.
Some say it is the way the Spirit moves.
We would say it is the waylife moves most efficiently through your physical body. And, fortunately, it is something that is not left to your conscious mind.
You don't have to prompt yourself to breathe. It happens.
But you can prompt yourself to breathe more.
We encourage that you deliberately take some air in. And then beforeyou let it out, take some more air in. And then before you let it out,take some more air in.
And before you let it out...and you say, "I can't take any more in, because there's no place for it to go."
And we say, yes there is, take some more in. Expand your capacity. Your lungs, like balloons, can be all shriveledup, or expanded fully. As you move on a regular basis, they expand somewhat, but they don't expand fully.
As you deliberately breathe deeper, it becomes more natural for them to get fuller - and before you know it, it will be an involuntary thing. You will naturally breathe more deeply.When you are running or moving your body, you don't have to think about it, your body demands it.
But when you are sitting, as in an environment like this Workshop, it's very helpful to deliberately breathe in more, breathe in more.
And when you think that you cannot breathe in any more - breathe in more.
And then experience the deliciousness of a long, easy, out, out, out, out, out.
And then breathe in more, breathe in more, breathe in more. And as you do this more deliberately, you will begin to do it more involuntarily - and your bodies will thrive.
It's even more importantthan drinking water. It's right up there with life itself.
When concentrating on your breathing, you are not concentrating on otherthings. And in that absence of resistance, you are also allowing analignment of Energy.
So you get a double whammy with it: You're aligning with Source Energy.
You are literally feeding the cells ofyour body, allowing oxygen to reach the extremities of your cells . Everybody comes alive - and everything works better. Metabolism worksbetter, elimination works better, clarity works better, blood flows better. Thriving comes from this.

it seems like it would be possible to hurt yourself by breathing in til you can't breathe in anymore, then trying to force more air in.
if i do it rhythmically or spasmatically it kind of works easier though like snif in.... nothing snif in... nothing snif in... but some may be coming out when not sniffing in.
is it just that you let the inhale get ever more subtle and soft as you reach the end, extending it as long as possible?
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
