Pranayama … The Harmonious Breath Meditation … Finding Peace |

“The Greeks had a word for the heart’s ability to perceive meaning from the world: aesthesis … Aesthesis denotes the moment in which a flow of life force, imbued with communication, moves from one living organism to another. The word literally means ‘to breathe in.’ It is a taking in of the world, a taking in of soulful communications that arise from the living phenomena in that world. The ancient Greeks knew that this moment of recognition was usually accompanied by a gasp, a breathing in … Often overlooked is the crucial understanding that at the same time, the world takes us in too—we are breathed in as well. When we experience this sharing of soul essence, we have a direct experience that we are not alone in the world.” —From The Secret Teachings of Plants, In the Direct Perception of Nature, by Stephen Harrod Buhner |
