Ten Cheng Breaths
Awaken paths of breath and mind Stir channels of blood and bile
Nostrils to Tan Tien Lungs push navel
Draw in the wind Bring the sun home
Forge this spherical comb Droplet of man in life’s mist
Now open the gate A step makes the road
Take another step Let the gate close behind
Grasp the sky Bring it close
Take the world’s cloak To know the story it tells
Then invite heaven To warm the center
The day will dance The stars will sing
