In this video, Zentatsu Richard Baker Roshi discusses the profound connection between attention and breath in the yogic practice of Zen Buddhism. He emphasizes the special importance of bringing attention to the 'physicality of breath': the unique physicality of each exhale and the unique physicality of the inhale. It is a practice which teaches us attentionality, evolves our attentionality, and transforms us neurologically.
Attention becomes the tool of enlivening our life and our living. The continuous engagement attention and breath is fundamental practice.
