• breathing...

  I found an interesting quote last week while taking a break from work:

  
  在呼吸中 練伸展
  在伸展中 觀動靜
  在動靜中 釆虛實
  在虛實中 見剛柔
  

  Mandarin pronunciation:
  zai hu xi zhong, lian shen zhan
  zai shen zhan zhong, guan dong jing
  zai dong jing zhong, bian xu shi
  zai xu shi zhong, xian gang rou

  "Within your inhalation and exhalation, you practice expansion.
  Within your expansion, observe movement and stillness.
  Within your movement and stillness, know what is real and what is empty.
  Within reality and emptiness, hard and soft appear."
