“When asked, ‘What is more important: prayer or reading the Bible,’ I ask, ‘What is more important: breathing in or breathing out?’”

— Charles Spurgeon

"I've been thinking about something for a long time, and I keep noticing that most human speech - if not all human speech - is made with the outgoing breath. This is the strange thing about presence and absence. When we breathe in, our bodies are filled with nutrients and nourishment. Our blood is filled with oxygen, our skin gets flush; our bones get harder - they get compacted. Our muscles get toned and we feel very present when we're breathing in. The problem is, that when we're breathing in, we can't speak. So presence and silence have something to do with each other."

Breathing in, I calm my body.” Reciting this line is like drinking a glass of cool lemonade on a hot day—you can feel the coolness permeate your body. When I breathe in and recite this line, I actually feel my breath calming my body and mind. “Breathing out, I smile.” You know a smile can relax hundreds of muscles in your face. Wearing a smile on your face is a sign that you are master of yourself. “Dwelling in the present moment.” While I sit here, I don’t think of anything else. I sit here, and I know exactly where I am.

Thich Nhat Hanh
