 *A beautiful message*

I noticed a child monk—he couldn't have been more than ten years old—teaching a group of five-year-olds. He had a great aura about him, the poise and confidence of an adult.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“I took their first class today,” he said, then asked me, “What did you learn on your first day of school?”

“I started to learn the alphabet and numbers"I said. "What did they learn?”

“The first thing I teach them is how to breathe.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Because the only thing that stays with you from the moment you are born until the moment you die is your breath. All your friends, your family, the country you live in, all of that can change. The one thing that stays with you is your breath.”

This ten-year-old monk added, “When you get stressed—what changes? Your breath. When you get angry—what changes? Your breath. We experience change of breath with every emotion change. When you learn to navigate and manage your breath, you can navigate through any situation in life."

*Inhale the beauty....*
