Let your breath become your mantra! or The natural mantra

Oh life that breathes me! 
Let no idea, thought, or emotion become your mantra.
But let your breath. 
 This breath that breathes life into you—
inhale after exhale, 
again and again, 
for a lifetime. 
 
Let your breath become your mantra!

Take the breath as your mantra
whenever you do yoga or meditate.
Focus your mind, all your attention, on it.
It is, after all, the natural mantra!
