As humans we are designed to live in joy, happiness, and prosperity.  It all starts with recognizing that there is a Higher Power Connection required to the Universal Creation/God/Buddha/Spirit or whatever entity to which your soul connects. The trick is to ALLOW the flow of positive ENERGY from  SOURCE/Universe/God to change us into vessels of love, peace and compassion.  The breath is Life, breathing in deeply to expand the body into new energy and exhaling slowly to release negativity is an important practice to open up the ENERGY SPACE of the heart, soul and body. This exercise is practiced in yoga and other holistic modalities.  Commitment to this concept helps you to release stress, to be still, to rest and open up your intuition (connection to Universal Source).
