As soon as there is nothing to do –

The body can relax freely.

As soon as there is nowhere to be –

Body and mind can rest easily.

Just follow your breathing quietly –

Be anchored by mindful breathing.

It is a practice for the present –

A gift of peace and healing.

Just follow your breathing quietly –

Your stress will slowly subside.

It is a sweet spring flowing inside –

It is good friend standing by your side.

Life is a wonderful miracle –

And this breath makes magic possible.

It is a wand of great transformation –

That can heal body and mind.

Mindful breathing can bring us joy,

Help us to see our real direction –

Steers us from our self-destruction,

And a path of mindless consumption.

So, this humble and essential thing –

This inhaling, exhaling, breathing –

Is a most extraordinary gift –

The precious gift of life!
