The breath is how it happens...

June is here and it's a wonderful late spring day. I just saw a Wren in the garden - the smallest bird in Britain... Life feels like a celebration this morning...

I picked up a lovely book yesterday: Breath - the essence of Yoga, by Sandra Sabatini. A new publisher seems to be re-printing it, which is good news.

Here's a sample:

it's not about dying...

it's about undoing... letting go... releasing... allowing... opening... softening...

as you breathe and become aware of your breath
all this will happen naturally in your body

everything will happen naturally - if you let it

the breath is how it happens

enjoy the benefits

as you focus attention on the breath, it becomes
very effective at claring and purifying at a deep level

and as the breath cleans and purifies
there is an increased feeling of lightness
and renewed energy in the body
and a greater calmness and clarity of mind
