The Spirit Fire website says it well: “Up to this point the practice has taught us to breathe consciously with a smile and with flow; to focus on receiving and releasing. Through these steps the interconnectedness of life is vibrantly apparent and directly experienced each time we meditate.
In the Tibetan language there is only one word for both heart and mind, and when a Tibetan speaks of mind, he or she will often point to the heart. As we begin to experience this truth from within, we experience another level of smile, of the coming and going of the breath, and of the ability within ourselves to let go and be more heart-full. This is what is meant by mindfulness.”
“Our lungs lead us to our heart. Our heart has opened our mind.”
