Breathing Empowerment

"When the breath is unsteady, all is unsteady; when the breath is still; all is still. Control the breath carefully. Inhalation gives strength and a controlled body; retention gives steadiness of mind and longevity; exhalation purifies body and spirit."

― Goraksasathakam

"Breath deeply, until sweet air extinguishes the burn of fear in your lungs and every breath is a beautiful refusal to become anything less than infinite."

― D. Antoinette Foy

"Do not be afraid, Ryoku Sui. Direct me with your Azure Divine Chi. Deeper and deeper, stronger and stronger... With this. There is no one that may prove a match for me!!"
