"Conscious breathing encourages the expansion of consciousness throughout the human organism and beyond: to inhale consciously is to positively excite and expand the whole environment of which one is a part; to exhale consciously is to support the relaxation of all surrounding and connecting energies."
"Every cell of the human body is, at its core, an atomic reactor of the most exquisite design that is continuously engaged in the conversion of matter into energy and energy into matter . . . Our breath is the living mechanism that drives this subtle circulatory system."
"Ultimately, this is simple human alchemy. We are learning to breathe spirit into flesh."
"An ideal life: Emotional energy flows throughout the body in regular, life-sustaining currents and extends beyond the body in radiant, life-connecting fields. You experience this always-moving energy as a quiet, gentle tingling (almost tickling) sensation and a systemwide feeling of simple pleasure. You feel good. This good feeling subsists as your ground of being-the primary matrix through which you perceive, experience and respond."
