Takes Your Breath Away

Have you ever had the experience of seeing something so spectacular that it took your breath away?

The other day my sister Kristine was talking about being in New York City after their biggest snow storm in ten years. “We took the subway to Central Park, and just as we were about to enter the park I looked up – the whole city was covered in white, even the buildings, and there wasn’t a soul in sight.” She went on to describe that her breath “left” and all she could do was stand there in awe.

I believe that this is the experience of timelessness. Great Yogi masters teach that at a point in meditation your breath stops for a moment as you join with all that is. How brilliant that a moment of pure captivation can transport us into eternity.
