Moon and clouds are the same

Mountains and valleys are different

Everything is blessed. Ten thousand blessed!

Is this one? These are two?

(Mumonkan 35)

In daily life, we experience ourselves often as an individualistic people with, alone with our own thoughts, separated from others. The reality however, is quite different.

Although we are different, we breathe in the office and outside of it, the same air. We are unable to refuse air from our colleagues, friends or even strangers. The longer we are in one room, the more our breath combines with those of others and merges into a common breathing field. Our thoughts and feelings which we radiate as frequencies merge into one field of thoughts and emotions.

To allow our breath and our thoughts to rest, not only has a calming effect on ourselves but also on others, when we breath very deeply, we can let go of our thoughts and experience the silence that we radiate into our environment with the exhalation. Becoming one with one’s breath goes all by itself! Breath that connects us with all living beings. Therefore the question arises: Are we alone or are we somehow connected to each other?
