Deep breathing is a big part of your well-being. It is the current that carries the vitality to the cells, and so, the more you are breathing, the more you are thriving. Fortunately, it’s not left to your conscious mind to prompt you to breathe. It just happens, but you can prompt yourself to breathe more.

As you deliberately breathe in more, breathe in more . . . you will begin to expand your lung capacity, and in time you will begin to breathe more deeply, voluntarily and naturally — and your bodies will thrive.

Breathing is the way life moves through your physical body. When concentrating on deep breathing, you are focusing on something positive, and so, while feeding the cells of your body, you are also aligning with Source Energy — and every body comes alive. Everything works better: metabolism, clarity . . . thriving comes from deliberate, deep breathing.
