“In the Art of War, which I used to introduce this book, Sun Tzu offers up a second approach one can use in an unfair fight: “The force applied is minute but the results enormous.” Don’t struggle against a brick wall. Find a way to apply the minimum amount of force with the maximum amount of impact.”*
– Amishi P. Jha, Ph.D., Peak Mind
Having a consistent breathing practice is the minimum amount of force we can apply to get the maximum amount of impact on our physical and mental wellness.
Don’t struggle against a brick wall. Instead, put your back against it, straighten your spine, and take a few nice slow, deep breaths : )
* I’m listening to this book and haven’t gotten the print or Kindle versions yet, so this is my best attempt at transcription.
