Inhale and exhale, thread of life, link of spirit and body.
origins
From yogic pranayama to monastic prayer, breath has been honoured as the sacred bridge between mortal and divine.
meaning
Connection, presence, life force. The bridge of breath joins inner silence with outer action.
today
It speaks of mindfulness, resilience, and the power of one breath to return us to centre.
practice
Pause now. Inhale slowly, exhale fully. Ask: what is restored when I cross this bridge of breath?
endurance
The bridge of breath endures because breath is constant — the first act at birth, the last at death, the rhythm in between.
