“In transporting the breath, the inhalation must be full. When it is full, it has big capacity. When it has big capacity, it can be extended. When it is extended, it can penetrate downward. When it penetrates downward, it will become calmly settled. When it is calmly settled, it will be strong and firm. When it is strong and firm, it will germinate. When it germinates, it will grow. When it grows, it will retreat upward. When it retreats upward, it will reach the top of the head. The secret power of Providence moves above. The secret power of the Earth moves below. He who follows this will live. He who acts against this will die.” HealthBreathDeep Breathing Book:Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art / Just Breathe / The Oxygen Advantage / What Doesn't Kill Us Source: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art / Just Breathe / The Oxygen Advantage / What Doesn't Kill Us
“In a world of seven billion people, where every inch of land has been mapped, much of it developed, and too much of it destroyed, the sea remains the final unseen, untouched, and undiscovered wilderness, the planet’s last great frontier. There are no mobile phones down there, no e-mails, no tweeting, no twerking, no car keys to lose, no terrorist threats, no birthdays to forget, no penalties for late credit card payments, and no dog shit to step in before a job interview. All the stress, noise, and distractions of life are left at the surface. The ocean is the last truly quiet place on Earth.” OceanPhysiologyOutdoorFreediving Book:Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves Source: Deep: Freediving, Renegade Science, and What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves
