We have an endless source of energy that is our breath. It continually stokes the fire that allows us to offer of ourselves without “burning out”
When we are in command of our breath we can make a stronger connection to our strengths, our positive qualities and then share them with others. On the other hand, when we let our breath control us we tend to be reactive or defensive.
For instance, when we are angry or anxious our breath tends to get rapid, uncontrolled and shallow. These emotions come from our ego, our self-made identity. If we take control of our breath we can often allow these negative emotions to pass and our minds to quiet. We reestablish a connection to our true Self which is a representation of Gd, the divine.
