Interesting.....The Breath has been a big deal for a long time now!

When I signed up for some physical therapy, she suggested I just work on lying on the floor arms extended outward, and breath slowly deeply. She said that would provide me some "exercising" benefits.

When doing this breathing in, we are very much just animals.

We are also smelling and tasting at the same time.
