The Breath of Life; that's what they call it, and... that's what it is. Legend has it that God blew The Breath of Life into Adam- (Namer of Things) In The Beginning. Breathing is the one thing we do more than anything else that we could have some control over. Our heart beats without our say-so. Lots of other actions go on without our say-so. I won't be getting into fight or flight or rest and digest.

All the diseases people catch happen with their say-so. They happen when one gets out of harmonic accord with Heaven and Nature. Staying in harmonic accord with life has a lot to do with your breathing.

Consider how our breathing can become agitated by our states of mind and the passions that occasionally or more than occasionally run amok through us. If you never got agitated, you might never get sick. Why do people get agitated? Attachments to form and bad interpretations of sensory input have a lot to do with that.

I'm not going to get into minutiae here. That could take all day and then some. Let me attempt to be as simple as I can. Since some people already consider me pretty simple, maybe... I can pull that off.
