A Breath of Fresh Air

windy grass skyDear Friends,

How can your breathing support your well-being, your creativity, your handling of difficult situations and pain identities, as well as support your ability to abide in the nature of mind? In this issue's teaching excerpt, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche explains how breathing in the best way possible can be a huge support in life, in our dzogchen practice, in our ability to abide and in all we endeavor to do.

In addition to breath, the supports in life come in so many forms! The support of our lineage, our teachers, our sangha!! May we all find inspiration and continue to remind each other to keep an eye out for these precious connections and relationships.
