"Breath is the link between the mental and physical disciplines. It makes the mind calm, lucid and steady." -Swami Vishnu Devananda
Not only do most people take breath for granted but many people do not breathe properly. Consistent ineffective breathing eventually results in fatigue, stress, anxiety, illness and a wide variety of other health issues. To determine if you are a good breather or a weak breather, take a few moments and pay attention to your breath. As you inhale and exhale sense whether your breathing is shallow and rapid or smooth and steady? Because both body and mind are affected--negatively or positively--by the way we breathe, it's important to do so properly.
