“The earth itself assures us it is a living entity. Deep below surface one can hear its slow pulse, feel its vibrant rhythm. The great breathing mountains expand and contract. The vast sage desert undulates with almost imperceptible tides like the oceans. From the very beginning, throughout all its cataclysmic upthrusts and deep sea submergences, the planet Earth seems to have maintained an ordered rhythm.” FeelsSeemsEarthNatureSeaPlanetsMountainTravelOceanSurfaceRhythmDesertBreathingContractsTidesEntitySagePulsePlanet EarthDeep Sea Book:Mountain Dialogues Source: Mountain Dialogues
“The air they breathe, being a living element with both physical and psychical properties, carries a subtle vital energy. This in India is named by the Sanskrit word prana; in Tibet it is called sugs, in Aikido, Japan, ki, and in China, chi. By controlling its circulation throughout the body, man is able to attain spiritual enlightenment or illumination.” MenBodyAbleSpiritualEnergyAirElementsEnlightenmentIndiaPropertyChinaBreatheBreathingSubtleJapanCarrieIlluminationCirculationTibetAikidoSanskritPranaSpiritual Enlightenment Author:Frank Waters
