Breathing as Conscious Practice

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “The Breath of Life.”

Breathing as Conscious Practice

Every breath can be a practice. With the inhalation, imagine drawing in pure, cleansing, relaxing energies. And with each exhalation, imagine expelling all obstacles, stress, and negative emotions. This is not something that requires a particular place in which to sit. It can be done when in the car on the way to work, waiting for a stop light, sitting in front of the computer, preparing a meal, cleaning the house, or walking.

- Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

The homework is to try the above practice 5 times a day for one week. Observe the effects of making your breath a practice.

Blessings,
