Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out.
Breathing in, I see myself as a flower. Breathing out, I feel fresh.
Breathing in, I see myself as a mountain. Breathing out, I feel solid.
Breathing in, I see myself as still water. Breathing out, I reflect things as they are.
Breathing in, I see myself as space. Breathing out, I feel free.
-a breathing meditation by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh
