inbreathing
Taking air in
Inbreathing is the act of drawing breath in—inhaling.
The word appears in spiritual and meditative contexts more often than medical ones: the inbreathing and outbreathing of the divine spirit.
It can describe any drawing inward: the ocean's inbreathing before the next wave.
