breath is so much more important

inhale. exhale. since i started practicing yoga i've learned (or maybe just relearned) that breathing is everything.

lately i've been battling a cold. a lot of congestion built up right in the most important place...

we breathe so that our organs and vital systems can function, so that we can live. we breathe to maintain necessary homeostatic rhythms, so that our heart can beat. we breathe differently in satisfaction than disappointment, in pleasure than in deep sorrow. we breathe, always, even if we try not to. it seems like life is simply tenacious enough to keep breathing...

currently i am in training to become a better breather, in hopes that all that smooth flowing delicious enriching oxygen will permeate my entire being and help me to be, better.
