Breath of Life
Almost all life forms breathe. The key to good health lies in proper breathing.
It is not a state secret that deep breathing done with a sense of rhythm can inject some vitality into your life form. Perhaps that is too scientific, let's just call it body.
Many people just breathe, without thinking. That's the difference between the Zen masters and the ordnary Joes. The Zen Masters breathe with a purpose. They indulge in slow, deep, rhythmic breathing.
Deep breathing slows down your heartbeat, lowers your blood pressure and gives your internal organs a chance to go on a short holiday.
The idea is to do it so often, naturally and purposefully until it becomes part of you.
I have been doing it for decades. I must add that deep breathing has re-energised me at those times when I needed it most. It calms the mind.
When you are practising deep breathing, visualise as if you are moving like the ocean waves. Feel the rhythm, as they say. Let your body loose and allow it to flow like the waters of a gentle brook.
Hear the chirping of the birds on those tiny, green branches and little pinpoint peeks of the sun. See it in your mind, calm your body with your thought and flow like the celestial wind along the highways of the Milky Way.
You have nothing to lose but time. With that you will slow down your ageing process.
