Living Yoga Micro-practice: Breath Realization
This micro-practice is one of the simplest and most potent ways to return to your Self through breathing.
Step One: Presence
Bring your awareness to the sensations of the ebb and flow of your breath:
Step Two: Experience
No matter what your intellectual or spiritual affiliation, imagine your breath as the most sacred life-giving substance that it is. It is helpful in the beginning to associate your breathing with a being or phenomenon of nature that invokes spontaneous reverence. Imagine you are inhaling an extraordinary sunset or as if the smiling Dalai Lama is entering the home of your body. Experience how your being becomes instantaneously receptive. Feel your inhale open the closed windows in your chest and soften the mask of the face as you unwind any mental obsessions.
Step Three: Realization
Within yoga, there is an equation: prana = citta - breath is consciousness.
Consider the global breath: There is one breath pulse that is breathing all of the 6 billion humans and countless creatures. The molecules of every breath contains approximately 1 million atoms breathed personally at sometime by every being on the planet.
Consider the intimacy of your breath as breathing you - where does one's breath come from? this life-giving oxygen that touches every cell of your body that has been breathing you since your conception.
Realize the one whom you never have to search for, who teaches us, supports us in every moment freely and then... return...
Step Four: Integration
Attend to the 10,000 things rising and falling with this infinite source as your guide. Through micro-practice of breath realization throughout one's day, a receptive, relationship to breathing arises. Re-enter the flow of your experience now without cutting out this vital consciousness breathing inside you.
“Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
{S}he is the breath
inside the breath.” - Kabir
