Conscious Breathing
There are a number of
breathing techniques you can use to make life vivid and more
enjoyable. The first exercise is very simple. As you breathe in, you
say to yourself, "Breathing in, I know that I am breathing in." And as
you breathe out, say, "Breathing out, I know that I am breathing out."
Just that. You recognize your in-breath as an in-breath and your
out-breath as an out-breath. You don't even need to recite the whole
sentence; you can use just two words: "In" and "Out." This technique
can help you keep your mind on your breath. As you practice, your
breath will become peaceful and gentle, and your mind and body will
also become peaceful and gentle. This is not a difficult exercise. In
just a few minutes you can realize the fruit of meditation
Alo" means to
share and "ha" means to breathe. Aloha means to share breath, and more
precisely to share the breath of life

Breathing in and out
is very important, and it is enjoyable. Our breathing is the link between
our body and our mind. Sometimes our mind is thinking of one thing and our
body is doing another, and mind and body are not unified. By concentrating
on our breathing, "In" and "Out," we bring body and mind back together,
and become whole again. Conscious breathing is an important bridge

best friend. Living with an inner smile is to live in harmony with yourself |
Ha, The Breath of Life
The ancient Hawaiians knew that
breath was the key to good health. The Hawaiian word for breath is ha, but ha
has many other meanings. It means exhale. And since the old Hawaiians were
deeply aware that without breath there is no life, ha also means life. (Pukui &
Elbert) Because ha was so important, breathing was revered and often done with
conscious intention
Inhale love and peace and
exhale smile with your eyes
