Breath Quotes
With life as short as a half-taken breath, don't plant anything but love.
Be kind to your sleeping heart. Take it out into the vast fields of light...And let it breathe.
When you drop your unnecessary things, you finally can swoop and fly in vast space. It is so blue, so bright, and so nice, so airy and fresh. You can stretch your wings and breathe the air. You can do anything you want. You have experienced cheerfulness and joy, and finally the bliss of freedom occurs in you.
God has come again and again in various Forms, has spoken again and again in different words and different languages the Same One Truth - but how many are there that live up to it? Instead of making Truth the vital breath of his life, man compromises by making over and over again a mechanical religion of it - a handy staff to lean on in times of adversity, a soothing balm for his conscience or a tradition to be followed.
Beyond the five senses there is mind, that is breath; beyond the mind there is buddhi, that is bindu, or spot (in between the eyebrows); beyond the bindu, Brahma, the ultimate Self, is the Pure Void, and Formless.
Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
Calmness is the living breath of God's immortality in you.
When the breath is calm, as when you are only listening, your mind is calm. Transformation of your breath is the easiest way to calm your mind and life.
Proper breathing is the key to good health.
Breathing in, there is only the present moment. Breathing out, it is a wonderful moment.
On the yogic path, various experiences occur which help increase the sadhaka’s faith, courage, knowledge, enthusiasm, devotion to his Guru, devotion to yoga, and finally his or her devotion to God. Initially, the sadhaka gains an understanding of the lower chakras; later the understanding of the middle; and finally understanding of the higher chakras unfolds. Besides this, the understanding or various asanas (postures), mudras (gestures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal from sense objects) and jyoti darshana (vision of divine light) is accessible through experience. Thus the practice of yoga itself unfolds the knowledge of more advanced states of yoga.
Our breath plays a very important role in our life. The breath is the connecting link between the inner world of the mind and the outer world of the body and environment.
Every emotion is connected with the breath. If you change the breath, change the rhythm, you can change the emotion.
Thought ceases in meditation; even the mind's elements are quite quiet. Blood circulation stops. His breath stops, but he is not dead.
Kumbhak (retention of breath) can be attained through bhakti (devotion) also. When the emotion reaches climax, the breath stops and the mind becomes fixed.
I believe in a spiritual world - not as anything separate from this world - but as its innermost truth. With the breath we draw we must always feel this truth, that we are living in God.
