Breath and Life – Christine Valters Paintner

“Imagine as you breathe in and out that your breath is connected in rhythm to the breath of the people you love who are also breathing in and out at this very moment. Then expand your awareness to imagine the rise and fall of breath of all creatures across the planet. Finally, expand your vision to include trees and plant life who offer us a mutual exchange of breath. Allow this prayer to connect you to the vast matrix of pulsing life within which we live.”
