The Smoke of Our Souls



Monday 17th July 2006 - 6:59:25 PM

Once again we’ve gathered,
preparing for departure.
Up and over, out of sight,
into a whole new rhelm.

Divided we sit,
together we fly.
You in your corner and I in mine,
soon we will be one.

One lights the match,
which starts the other’s fire.
Inhale, exhale,
breath the smoke of our souls.

Today it’s like this,
tomorrow—who knows.
When we gather the next time,
we’ll do it all over again.

Oxygen is the most basic requirement for human life. Go without it for five minutes and you’ll die. Yet most of us pay little attention to our breathing unless we are having respiratory problems. The fact is, an astonishing number of physical ailments and diseases are rooted in poor breathing and oxygen deficits. And even symptoms that are not caused by incorrect breathing can be eased and improved by conscious breathing practices. OxyGenesis.org

The fact is, while babies breathe fully and naturally, adults generally don’t. The average set of lungs is about the size of two footballs, but most people use only a third of that capacity. People just clench up— and in doing so, they lose what many experts say is one of the greatest stress-reduction tools at their disposal….Obviously, that’s not good. So to help you take advantage of your stress-relieving lung power, we’ve created a gentle reminder for you to download and print. Clip it out and tape it to your computer or tack it on your bulletin board—anywhere you need to remember to BREATHE. Health.com
