Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. The simple act of breathing is surely the most natural, primal, and universal human experience. It’s also, if you are striving for mindfulness and peace in your life, one of the most challenging and even intense personal practices.

5. "The breath must be enticed or cajoled, like catching a horse in a field, not by chasing after it, but by standing still with an apple in one’s hand." B.K.S. Iyengar

7. "Fear is excitement without the breath." Fritz Perls, M.D.
8. "A lifetime is not what is between the moments of birth and death. A lifetime is one moment Between my two little breaths. The present, the here, the now, That's all the life I get. I live each moment in full, In kindness, in peace, without regret."
Chade Meng, Taoist poet
9. "Learn how to exhale, the inhale will take care of itself" Carla Melucci Ardito
