By coming back to my breath.
/baɪ ˈkʌmɪŋ bæk tə maɪ brɛθ/
Focusing on my breath, everything becomes nothing: no craving, no perceiving, no clinging to the past or future.
/ˈfoʊkəsɪŋ ɑn maɪ brɛθ, ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ bɪˈkʌmz ˈnʌθɪŋ: noʊ ˈkreɪvɪŋ, noʊ pərˈsivɪŋ, noʊ ˈklɪŋɪŋ tə ðə pæst ɔr ˈfjutʃər/
Simply knowing that I am breathing, that I exist, allows me to live fully in the present moment.
/ˈsɪmpli ˈnoʊɪŋ ðæt aɪ æm ˈbriðɪŋ, ðæt aɪ ɪɡˈzɪst, əˈlaʊz mi tə lɪv ˈfʊli ɪn ðə ˈprɛzənt ˈmoʊmənt/
Let me share some verses about breathing that I learned:
/lɛt mi ʃɛr sʌm ˈvɜrsɪz əˈbaʊt ˈbriðɪŋ ðæt aɪ lɜrnd:/
Breathing in, I know I’m breathing.
/ˈbriðɪŋ ɪn, aɪ noʊ aɪm ˈbriðɪŋ/
Breathing out, I know I’m alive.
/ˈbriðɪŋ aʊt, aɪ noʊ aɪm əˈlaɪv/
Breathing in, I see the blue sky.
/ˈbriðɪŋ ɪn, aɪ si ðə blu skaɪ/
Breathing out, I feel calm.
/ˈbriðɪŋ aʊt, aɪ fil kɑm/
Breathing in, I feel joy.
/ˈbriðɪŋ ɪn, aɪ fil ʤɔɪ/
Breathing out, I love everyone.
/ˈbriðɪŋ aʊt, aɪ lʌv ˈɛvriˌwʌn/
Breathing in, I feel happy.
/ˈbriðɪŋ ɪn, aɪ fil ˈhæpi/
Breathing out, I spread happiness to everyone.
/ˈbriðɪŋ aʊt, aɪ sprɛd ˈhæpinɪs tə ˈɛvriˌwʌn/
Breathing in, I know I’m alive.
/ˈbriðɪŋ ɪn, aɪ noʊ aɪm əˈlaɪv/
Breathing out, I’m grateful for everything.
/ˈbriðɪŋ aʊt, aɪm ˈɡreɪtfəl fɔr ˈɛvriˌθɪŋ/
