“I am breathing in and liberating my mind. I am breathing out and liberating my mind.” One practices like this.

James's comment: With every mindful breath we maintain peace and liberation. I like to even breath mindfully while I'm driving. I use to have A LOT of road rage but since embracing Buddhism and mindful breathing I have REALLY relaxed.
-Peace to all beings-

This is one of my favorite activities to do. It is amazing how many benefits it has and how many problems it helps. Thanks for posting this, and that is a beautiful photo!

I agree. Deep breathing helps calm us down both physically and emotionally. It is one of the most basic yet successful tools we have to help ground us and keep us liberated.
