73.) "BREATHING" = RESPIRANDO

It is not always easy to be 1.) aware if we are 2.) breathing correctly at every moment. Perhaps we don´t give much importance to it when we are walking, at work or even driving. But how we breathe is very important if we practice a sport or do something different 3.) like singing or do some 4.) kind of meditation or are involved in oriental disciplines where breathing techniques play a very important 5.) role to be more in contact with oneself.  
People are often surprised when they are told that they should 6.) learn how to breathe. Breathing puts us in direct contact with life because very few of us can survive more than two or three minutes without air.
Most of us only breathe to simply 7.) stay alive. 8.) However if we learn to breathe correctly, we can maintain a 9.) bond between our 10.) body and soul.
By being conscious of how we breathe can help us live longer and avoid certain 11.) illnesses. In normal breathing 12.) most of us only use a quarter or 13.) even less of our 14.) lung capacity. A 15.) deep slow and regular breathing is the first 16.) step to living better, being 17.) healthier and happier.
We 18.) should reduce the number of times we inhale and exhale per minute. If we take our19.) blood pressure and we begin to slowly inhale and exhale 20.) filling and 21.) emptying our lungs, we will see that our 22.) heartbeats will be slower and much 23.) less.
There are also 24.) advantages in 25.) holding our breath with our lungs 26.) full of air. It can 27.) provide a volume of 28.) airflow giving us more oxygen and 29.) removing carbon dioxide more 30.) efficiently.
One very good way to elimimate carbon dioxide and 31.) clean our lungs, especially when we are walking along the beach or in the 32.) country where the air is cleaner, is to do the 33.) following:

Inhale 34.) through our nose 35.) filling our lungs completely and hold your breath for five seconds.
36.) Then, when we are 37.) going to exhale, close our 38.) lips 39.) tightly and force the air to 40.) come out slowly through our lips. Do this exercise three to five times. We will 41.) feel that we are breathing 42.) better and that our lungs feel 43.) cleaner.

To begin doing breathing exercises, a good way is to be 44.) lying down on a bed. In the beginning we can put our hand on our stomach so we can feel when we are inhaling and completely exhaling. We can 45.) also breathe 46.) in this way when we are sitting at work, sitting in a park or walking in the street
Be aware of how we are breathing and try not to think of 47.) anything else.
Constantly being aware of our 48.) breathing will 49.) make us spiritually 50.) stronger and 51.) happier.
The word spirit comes from latin spiritus and from the verb spirare which 52.) means 53.) breath. 54.) Thus the breath we breathe has been mentioned in books 55.) as 56.) "The Holy Spirit"  To live is to breathe and to breathe is to live.

Here´s a song by The Police "Every breath you take"  = Cada inspiración que tomas (Cada vez que respiras)
In fact,(en realidad) this is not a romantic song according to (segun) Sting when he wrote it. He composed the song after getting divorced from his wife, Frances Tomelty.

Lyrics                             Translated by ajm

Every breath you take                 Cada inspiración que tomas
Every move you make                  Cada movimiento que hagas
Every bond you break                  Cada vínculo que rompas
Every step you take                    Cada paso que tomes
I'll be watching you                     Te estaré vigilando
Every single day                         Cada día
Every word you say                     Cada palabra que digas
Every game you play                    Cada juego que juegues
Every night you stay                    Cada noche que te quedes
I'll be watching you                      Te estaré vigilando
Oh can't you see                          Ay, no te das cuenta
You belong to me                         me perteneces
How my poor heart aches              Como duele mi pobre corazón
With every step you take              Con cada paso que tomas
Every move you make                   Cada movimiento que hagas
Every vow you break                    Cada promesa que rompas
Every smile you fake                     Cada sonrisa que finges
Every claim you stake                   Cada derecho que reclamas
I'll be watching you                      Te estaré vigilando
Since you've gone I've been           Desde que te has ido he estado  

lost without a trace                      perdido sin ningún rastro
I dream at night,                          Sueño por la noche,

I can only see your face                Solo puedo ver tu cara
I look around but it's                     Miro a mi alrededor pero eres

you I can't replace                       tu a quien no puedo reemplazar
I feel so cold and I                       Me siento tan frío y yo

long for your embrace                   anhelo tu abrazo
I keep calling baby, baby please...   Te sigo llamando nena. nena por favor...
Oh can't you see                          No te das cuenta
You belong to me                         Que me perteneces
How my poor heart aches              Como duele mi pobre corazón
With every step you take              Con cada paso que tomas
Every move you make                   Cada movimiento que tomas
Every vow you break                    Cada promesa que rompas
Every smile you fake                     Cada sonrisa que finges
Every claim you stake                   Cada derecho que te juegues
I'll be watching you                       Te estaré vigilando
Every move you make                    Cada movimiento que hagas
Every step you take                      Cada paso que tomes
I'll be watching you                       Te estaré vigilando
I'll be watching you                       Te estaré vigilando
Every breath you take                    Cada inspiración que tomes
Every move you make                    Cada movimiento que hagas
