From macrocosm to microcosm, if there is one common principle, it is of ebb and flow. Every moment, there is an expansion and contraction that underlies all creation (and transformation). In the human organism, the heart beats, contracting and relaxing; one muscle shortens while the other lengthens as we do a million different movements; and the intestines contract and relax to push the food forward, and assimilate nutrition. The dynamism of the organism is practically infinite. 

​

The sustaining principle of this dynamism of life and consciousness is the flow of unconditioned breath. Across cultures, religions, and geographies, great healers, prophets, and saints have directed the human race towards the power of breath. In the last century, modern science has started to catch up, albeit reluctantly, and there is a long way to go. It is quite ironic that we are focusing so late on something that has been right under our noses...literally!

​

Breathing is an innate, involuntary phenomenon. Additionally, it is the only involuntary phenomenon that can be controlled consciously. One can consider Breath as the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, between control and surrender, between destiny and free-will. The first thing we do when we slip out into this world is take a deep breath in. The last thing we do before we pass on is sigh a breath out. Between this inspiration and expiration, our whole universe is contained.
