Spiritual Breathing
“Breathing in I calm my body. Breathing out I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment, I know this is a wonderful moment!”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
“The soul is the divine breath.
It purifies, revivifies, and heals the instrument through which it functions.”
~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
When you are in doubt, when you feel frustrated, when you are angry, simply stop… and take a breath.
The author of the Book of Genesis tells us that “God took the dust of the earth and formed the body or man, and breathed into the nostrils of man the Breath of Life, and man became a living soul.”
Breathing is the one thing you can do anywhere at anytime. It does not cost you anything, but it may gain you much. Remember that stopping is a spiritual action; and so is breathing.Physical breathing transports oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body. Breathing supplies over 99% of your entire oxygen and energy supply. Spiritual breathing is like physical breathing in that:
*When you exhale, you release anything that does not serve you, such as negativity and limiting beliefs. Breathe out negativity…
*When you inhale, you breathe in the power of love, peace, and joy.
Usually, we don’t think about our physical breathing. But spiritual breathing is something that requires conscious action and awareness. Breath awareness has been known to lead to the healing of stress-related dis-eases and emotional problems to the healing of unconscious blocks, fears, and anxieties.
