Breathing - An excerpt from Waking up to What You Do ~ Diane Eshin Rizzetto

"The first thing we do when we are born is take in a breath. The last thing we do when we die is let out  a breath. Breathing is one of the most fundamental activities we engage in. It supports us in a way nothing or no one else can, and when we observe it, it can calm us and help us see where we are at this moment." p189
