The root of all human anxiety is the attempt to hold your breath indefinitely.
There is no rush, nowhere else you need to be. Just breathe, and be here.
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
The river that flows in you also flows in me. Look within: you will see the light shining in every breath.
Why should I search in Kashi and Kaaba when my Beloved sits right beside me in the quiet breath?
The mind is a wild monkey dancing on the branches of desire; tie it with the rope of conscious breath.
The breath is the bridge between the physical body and the subtle mind.
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Let your heart be like the singing flute that leaves no breath trapped inside.
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through—listen to this music!
The dawn wind carries the fragrance of eternity: wake up, breathe deeply, and begin anew.
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
Right now, we are still breathing. We are alive.
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.
Just by sitting peacefully, breathing in and out, you can bring immense peace to the world around you.
Breathe in light, breathe out peace. You are home in the universe.
While I breathe, I hope.
