All the powers of the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
~ Swami Vivekenanda
Breath and attention to breath are keys to self-emptying. Attending to the breath will carry you beyond the distractions of the mind and return you to the Greater Unity of God from which you arise and in which you dwell. Just as God breathed life into Creation, so God breathes into each one of us at this and every moment. Follow the breath back to God.
