It is not just air coming and going through your lungs. Yoga says the air is just the outer layer of it. Hidden deep in that layer is vitality. So breathing has two parts. One: the body of breathing, made up of oxygen, nitrogen and so on, and, two: the spirit of breathing, made up of vitality, God himself.
If you simply go on breathing and thinking that this is just air coming in and going out you will never be able to penetrate the mystery of it.
Buddha is reported to have said to his monks: “Sitting, walking, standing, whatsoever you are doing, go on doing these things, but let your consciousness be aware of the breath coming in, going out. Go on
looking at your own breath — one day with the very continuous hammering on the breath, the temple opens.”

Keep your aglaonema plant’s soil just barely moist—but not wet—and avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely. Generally, it will need watering more frequently in the spring and summer and less in the winter, so check the soil moisture regularly.
Feed your aglaonema with houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength every four months or so. When your plant’s pot becomes overcrowded, transplant it into a container one size larger with fresh soil. This is best done during the spring or summer when the plant is actively growing.
