Shiva is Breathing: Shiva Sutra 3.43
The breath you’re taking right now may not be your own. According to the yogic tradition your inhale and exhale are quite literally the dance of Shiva and Shakti manifesting your reality 22,000 times a day. That’s right— the natural pulsation of breathing in and breathing out is the literal pulsation of your true nature itself— the first physical expression of divine consciousness in your life, and one that with practice you can learn absorb more deeply.
