To breathe is to live. But life is neither to be confused …

To breathe is to live. But life is neither to be confused with the act of breathing nor with air itself. Life has its origins in an element much subtler than air and for which air is a food: fire. Yes, life is found in a much higher realm, in fire. Air serves only to feed this fire, and without the presence of air the fire goes out. The lungs merely feed the fire that burns in the heart. The primary cause of life, therefore, is fire, and air, its brother, nourishes it. When man breathes his last, the fire goes out: when he exhales for the last time, life is extinguished. Since it is air that sustains the fire of life, we must pay great attention to the process of respiration. Do not imagine that just because you breathe, everything is fine. No, in most people, even though they are alive and breathing, this process has become weak, compromised. This is why they must make the effort to work with the breath so as to animate, purify and intensify the life within them.
