Many people don't recognize how enjoyable deep breathing can be. They are either completely unconscious about their breath, or they breathe mechanically because they are trying too hard to do it right. They may see it as a part of their exercise program, but not necessarily something to incorporate into their daily life. Breathing feels good just for its own sake because it affirms and strengthens the life force that flows through us and that IS us. We feel more energetically uplifted as we tune into our breath and allow it to flow more freely through us. The more we breathe in the gift of life the more alive we feel.
