In between, the whole life we are breathing in and out, but not attending to the breath Ninety percent of the impurities in the body go out through the breath because we are breathing twenty-four hours a day. The breath is our best friend -- it's always with us. And yet, we hardly know much about it. What's more ... it holds some timeless s …

I want to continue to spread and share this amazing technique with the Washington DC community. To that end, we will have weekly or bi-weekly meetups to tap together on a number …
