Many people these days are interested in breathwork and energy work and meditation, which how awesome is that? What a lot of people don’t know about energy or chi is where it actually derives, as far as the word and spirit.
Now, the word spirit comes from the Latin word spiritus, which translated means breath or wind. Other people would translate it as to breathe. So why our breathing exercises so beneficial for those people looking to expand their consciousness and attain higher levels of awareness, because your breath is the first thing you do when you’re born.
It’s the last thing you do as you change your address, but it’s also one of the things that we focus on the least and it’s one of the most important things that we can possibly do. So as you go throughout your life, take pause to focus on your breath, focus on the joy of taking that wonderful air into your body and feel it go into every part of you. We breathe thousands of times a day and it’s one of the most glorious things to focus on that breath.
