Quotes About Exhalation

In the inhalation and exhalation there is an energy and a lively divine spirit, since He, through his spirit supports the breath of life, giving courage to the people who are in the earth and spirit to those who walk on it.
~ Michael Servetus
What is the real breath of a man — the breathing out or the breathing in?
~ Margaret Atwood
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
~ John Dryden
Fermentation is the exhalation of a substance through the admixture of a ferment which, by virtue of its spirit, penetrates the mass and transforms it into its own nature.
~ Andreas Libavius
Every time you take in a breath, you are repeating the pattern of taking spirit into matter, and thus repeating the first creation of Adam. And every time you breathe out, you are repeating the pattern of returning spirit to the material universe. In a way, every exhalation is a "little dying" as we pay the price of inspiriting the world.
~ Richard Rohr
What is a sigh? That would be another good subject for a field study. Is it just a long, deep, audible exhalation of breath? Rose's sigh was intense but not subdued. It was frustrated but not yet sad. A sigh resets the respiratory system so it was possible that my mother had been holding her breath, which suggests she was more nervous than she appeared to be. A sigh is an emotional response to being set a difficult task.
~ Deborah Levy
I'd be (...) lying there on my back with my clothes on and looking up at the ceiling and watching the cigarette smoke flow up slow and splash against the ceiling like the upside-down slow-motion moving picture of the ghost of a waterfall or like the pale uncertain spirit rising up out of your mouth on the last exhalation, the way the Egyptians figured it, to leave the horizontal tenement of clay in its ill-fitting pants and vest.
~ Robert Penn Warren
traction (stretching) is easier during exhalation, but lumbar traction (stretching) is eased by inhalation and retarded by exhalation.
~ Leon Chaitow
lumbar traction (stretching) is eased by inhalation and retarded by exhalation.
~ Leon Chaitow
There might be some residue in my mouth, but if I can breathe from my nasal passage, the air won't come from my mouth or my diaphragm.
~ Alexandra Robbins
She who cannot control herself cannot control the path to duty. Do not fight the waves of anger, use the anger as your fuel. Inhale. Exhale. Sidestep. Circumvent. Deflect.
~ Margaret Atwood
could see movement in the air all around her, could see that the wind had breath in it, a ripple, a warm exhalation. This month brought the sense of a light scarf being blown about, on the muscle of the wind.
~ Anne Lamott
His breath hurt her lungs, in and out, in and out, as if he breathed the smoke and ash he saw.
~ Elizabeth Bear
There is something called "echo" exhalation that impresses this point even further. Exhale slowly and fully. Pause. Then exhale again. There is always a slight residue left in the lungs. In that residue is to be found the sludge of toxic memory and ego. In that brief further exhalation, let them go - and experience an even deeper state of relief from burden, of peace and emptiness.
~ B.K.S. Iyengar
Is it possible that, with each inhalation, we take in the world and awaken our soul? And with each exhalation, do we free ourselves of the world, which inevitably entangles us? Is this how we fill up and empty a hundred times a day, always seeking the gift of the two breaths? Perhaps this is the work of being.
~ Mark Nepo
It's the sound of my breathing that gets me, pouring down into my lungs and then tripping back up my throat.
~ Markus Zusak
he was doing a breath hydrogen test. If you know the amount of hydrogen someone is exhaling orally, it's a simple matter to extrapolate the amount they're exhaling rectally. This is because a fixed percentage of hydrogen produced in the colon is absorbed into the blood and, and when it reaches the lungs, exhaled. The breath hydrogen test has given flatus researchers a simple, consistent measure of gas production that does not require the subject to fart into a balloon.
~ Mary Roach
Every time you breathe, you exhale some 25 sextillion (that's 2.5 x 1022) molecules of oxygen—so many that with a day's breathing you will in all likelihood inhale at least one molecule from the breaths of every person who has ever lived.
~ Bill Bryson
Every time you breathe, you exhale some 25 sextillion (that's 2.5 x 1022) molecules of oxygen—so many that with a day's breathing you will in all likelihood inhale at least one molecule from the breaths of every person who has ever lived. And every person who lives from now until the sun burns out will from time to time breathe in a bit of you. At the atomic level, we are in a sense eternal.
~ Bill Bryson
breathing. He coughed from deep inside his lungs
~ Brian Freeman
With God's breath in the church we are called to exhale, but not because it's a morally good thing to do but because we can't help ourselves.
~ Kenda Creasy Dean
El patrón respiratorio presenta períodos de inspiraciones muy breves, de tipo apneico (respiración casi detenida), seguidos de exhalaciones pasivas incompletas y a veces por una fase espiratoria de tipo "suspiro".
~ Susana Bloch
Sus características respiratorias se definen por una breve y abrupta inspiración por la nariz seguida de una espiración por la boca abierta, el aire saliendo en breves sacadas explosivas que pueden invadir hasta la pausa espiratoria.
~ Susana Bloch
The air was so sweet in New Orleans it seemed to come in soft bandannas; and you could smell the river and really smell the people, and the mud and the molasses, and every kind of tropical exhalation with your nose suddenly removed from the dry ices of a Northern winter.
~ Jack Kerouac
