lorsque l’on respire en synchronicité
"Ce silence lorsque je contemple ta cime
Le son de sa respiration lorsque l’on respire en synchronicité."
I thought that "...when we breathe in synchronicity" might work, but is there a better way to express this, and to use the term or a related one?

: Interesting idea, but I'm not entirely sure about using 'in harmony' for breathing... still mulling it over ;-)

Thank you for your comment. :)

when we're breathing in time / together
I certainly wouldn't use 'synchronicity', which in EN is (to my mind) far too dry and technical for this sort of text.
When people do the same thing at the same time, we often say they are 'in time'; 'together' might be a simpler solution, but open to ambiguity.

'when we're breathing as one' might be a slightly more poetic way of expressing it too.
