BREATHING MANTRA

Be prepared to exhale when you are inhaling, and to inhale when you are exhaling.

—

Always be prepared to reverse the direction of your breathing.

—

Already have the thought in your head of exhaling, when you are currently inhaling, and the thought in your head of inhaling, when you’re currently exhaling.

—

The outbreath is contained within the inbreath, the inbreath within the outbreath.

—

The exhale itself is a preparation for the inhale; the inhale, itself, is preparation for the exhale.

—

Inhale for as long as you’d like to inhale. Exhale for as long as you’d like to exhale. 

—

Never fear. When the time is right, turn your breath around.
