Today’s Excerpt:

Breathe in and out as slowly as you can three times. How do you feel after?

Sing or enjoy the song “Breathing In, Breathing Out” (3-min video) by Plum Village. As their site says, “This classic Plum Village song helps us to enjoy our breathing. When you breathe and visualize a flower, a dewdrop, a mountain, Mother Earth and their qualities like freshness, solidity, spaciousness, you also nourish those elements inside of you.”

You can also see “Breathing In Breathing Out || Thai Plum Village” (2-min video) to see a version of the song sung by Plum Village.

Breathing in, breathing out / Breathing in, breathing out / I am blooming as a flower / I am fresh as the dew / I am solid as a mountain / I am firm as the earth / I am free.

Breathing in, breathing out / Breathing in, breathing out / I am water reflecting / What is real, what is true / And I feel there is space / Deep inside of me / I am free, I am free, I am free.
