Power Quotes From The Show

If we're not breathing right then we're a slave to our emotions.' – @wellnessforce” quote=”‘If we can breathe then we can choose but if we can't choose then we're probably not breathing properly.

Self-Love Is A Choice
Breath Will Lead You To Awareness
“The breath is the only thing that we can be in communion with and we can control. There's nothing in this world that we can be in communion with and control like the breath. We can't beat our own heart, we can't digest our own food; we just can't. We can control what thoughts we indulge in and we can control how we breathe – that's it. If we can breathe then we can choose but if we can't choose then we're probably not breathing. If we're not breathing right then we're a slave to our emotions and then we're a slave to the people that dangle the puppeteer strings in our society but the breath will lead us to awareness.” – Josh Trent
