Quotes

 

Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life. Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the Universe; breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside. Next, breathe up all the fecundity and vibrancy of the earth. Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with that of your own, becoming the Breath of Life itself.

Morihei Ueshiba 1883–1969

 

Emphasis is placed on the exhalation phase of breathing. This promotes the full emptying of the lungs of waste by-products and also prolongs the time that the body is in the exhalation mode.

Claudio Iedwab & Roxanne Standefer
