I am looking for a word or a phrase (in any language), meaning the 'breath of life'. The air that you breathe in to live, and without it you will die. When you are born you take your first breathe and when you die you breathe out your last. Any words or phrases that encaptures this idea. Thank you!!

souffle de vie - in French.

I think the English word is 'breath'. With it you live; without it you die. Why make it more than that?
Atheist, 'breath' is exhausting..........
Дух Жизни (Dookh Zhizni) - Russian
