Breath – it marks the beginning and end of life, it is the one thing shared by all human beings, and yet it is one of the most overlooked aspects of the human experience. What we take for granted actually forms the basis of our shared reality. Each breath we take signals triumph over death, our defiant presence in the world, our dedication to persisting. Author Prem Rawat, asks us to pause and take a moment to revel in our breath, to wake up to this miracle of shared human experience. Only when we do so can we open ourselves to the possibility of peace—both inner and outer. Breath is a beautiful guide to finding harmony in each moment and immersing in the simple but profound power of breath to bring peace to our life.
