The Sanskrit word...Houses the soul? Fascinating...<br /><br />The Sanskrit word 'Spira' pops up all over the place in English, and many other languages.<br /><br />It can mean 'breath', and thus influenced the word 'respire'. You may also recognise it in 'conspire', which literally means, "breathing together".<br /><br />On another tangent, though, Spira is also the root of 'Spirit', coming from an idea of one's life-force being embodied in one's breathing.<br /><br />I wonder if the dual meaning of the ancient word is connected to the TCM idea of the lungs housing the soul. At the least, the possibility inspires me (There it is again! Inspire: To breath new life).The Blue Princehttp://sparchitecture.yolasite.com/blog.phpnoreply@blogger.com
