RT @nick_routledge: @RichardRohrOFM What is it to connect with the essence of what is most Real? To breathe the Living Breath? To attune our awareness not 'upon', but 'within' the primal experience of inflowing and outflowing life? What of 'the breath within the breath' made Tweet? Get your breath around this.

“We live by the sheer generosity of a moment-by-moment miracle, and it is called the breath. Actually, we could say we live and die by this miracle. Every breath out is a practice of yielding the self to the universe; every breath in is a reincarnation event, the self reborn, fresh. Zen is the practice of agreeing to live with a mind and self as alive and fluid as breathing itself: accepting the offer of each moment, yielding to the passing of each moment.” Susan Murphy Roshi
@Corrupted4ta @nils_gilman Inspiring to see the significance of breath acknowledged in ‘western terms’, here, where ‘vital breath,’ and technes to work with it, are a planetary phenomenon central to authentic wisdom traditions, and commonly used to deepen immediate, individual awareness of what unites us.
