Love the truth in this passage. Our life is our breath. Our breath is our calm.  See passage below:
Breathing: Breath is life! Exchange of electrons. Flow of energy. Air is  the primary nutrient. Survival without it is measured in minutes. It is  so important that you do it without thinking. Your breathing is the  voice of your spirit. It's depth, smoothness, sound, and rate reflect  your mood. If you become aware of your breath and breathe the way you do  when you are calm you will become calm. Practicing regular, mindful  breathing can be calming and energizing. It can bring us back to our  center of peace.
