Day 22
Breathe
“While inhaling, it should be smooth as drinking water through the stem of a blue water lily. Just as when you drink water through a straw it has uniform flow, so should be the flow of air. The exhalation should be like the flow of poured oil. When oil is poured from a ladle it has a uniform flow, unlike water, which is not viscous.”
“Ultimately our experience of the āsana is refined through the mastery of the breath, rather than mastery of the form.”
Some traditions hold that the idea of Creator, God or Holy Spirit is alike to the breath or the wind. For example the meaning of the Hebrew word “Ruach.” This (feminine) word refers to God as breath, a wind, or a life force that sustains and animates not only human beings but all living things.
