“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.”

“To control your life, control your mind. To control your mind, control your breath.”

“take a deep breath. Keep your body fully in the present and your mind in the recent future. Don't let the past get in your way.”

“To meditate with mindful breathing is to bring body and mind back to the present moment so that you do not miss your appointment with life.”

“Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.”

“The word "yoga" literally means "uniting", because when you're doing it you are uniting your mind and your body. You can tell this almost immediately because your mind will be thinking, "Ouch, that hurts," and your body will say, "I know." And your mind will think, "You have to get out of this position." And your body will say, "I agree with you, but I can't right now. I think I'm stuck.”
