“…our emotions and thoughts are tied to the rhythm of our breath. When we are upset, our breath is rapid. We may even pant. When we’re sad, our breath is heavy. We sigh. Then again, when we’re happy, our breath is long and light. We feel as if we’re floating… The first act of life is inhalation. The last act is exhalation. All of life occurs between these two acts. Yet we seldom think of our breath. Only if we choke on something — then we quickly realize how important it is.” ~ Christopher Pike
