In this week’s Pause™ cast the theme we are working on together is an introduction to our breath and breathing. Often what is most simple is most profound. That which we take for granted is the most essential; that which is right in front of us is the most important. And the breath is perhaps the most poignant example of this.When we inhale we enliven ourselves. On a deeper level, what we are doing when we inhale is inhaling the Cosmic, Supernal Exhale that is right this moment, enlivening, animating, and sustaining creation. What a blessing to live with this awareness. Just this moment.

Just this breath. Just this moment. Just this breath. And the knowing of it.Rabbi Levi says in the name of Rabbi Chanina: For each and every breath that man takes he must give praise to the Creator.

How do we know this?

For it says in Tehillim (Psalms) 150:6:Let all souls praise G-d, Hallelu-yah!Pause Point: If you lived in your heart, you’d be home right now.Pause Point: With each and every breath we are reminded of the blessing of the moment, and we are invited to renew our lives.Breathing and Quieting the Mind-https://www.amazon.com/Breathing-Quieting-Mind-DovBer-Pinson/dp/0989007219
