Breathe in the stillness of each moment from "summary" of The Zen of Living and Dying by Philip Kapleau

To live fully, one must learn to embrace the present moment with all its joys and sorrows. This means cultivating a deep sense of awareness and mindfulness in each breath we take. By breathing in the stillness of each moment, we can connect with our inner selves and find peace amidst the chaos of life. This practice of mindful breathing allows us to let go of our worries and fears, and simply be present in the here and now. As we breathe in the stillness of each moment, we are reminded of the impermanence of life. Everything is constantly changing and evolving, and by being fully present, we can appreciate the beauty and fragility of each moment. This awareness helps us to let go of attachments and expectations, and instead, embrace the present moment with an open heart and mind. In the stillness of each moment, we can find a sense of tranquility and calmness that is often lacking in our busy lives. By taking the time to pause and breathe deeply, we can center ourselves and reconnect with our innermost selves. This practice of mindful breathing allows us to let go of distractions and focus on what truly matters in life. Through conscious breathing, we can cultivate a deep sense of gratitude for the gift of life itself. Each breath we take is a reminder of the preciousness of our existence, and by breathing in the stillness of each moment, we can fully appreciate the miracle of being alive. This sense of gratitude helps us to live more fully and authentically, as we learn to cherish each moment as it comes. In the stillness of each moment, we can find a deep sense of peace and contentment that surpasses all worldly desires. By breathing mindfully and embracing the present moment, we can free ourselves from the burdens of the past and the worries of the future. This practice of being fully present allows us to experience life in its fullness, with all its ups and downs, joys and sorrows. By breathing in the stillness of each moment, we can transform our lives and find true happiness and fulfillment. This practice of mindful breathing is a powerful tool for cultivating inner peace and wisdom, and for living a life of purpose and meaning. Through the simple act of breathing deeply and being fully present, we can open ourselves to the beauty and wonder of life, and find peace in the midst of chaos.
