Breath Prayer
What is a breath prayer?
It's an opening of our hearts to God through the rhythm of our breath.
A breath prayer is a short prayer that expresses a deep desire, need, thought or feeling, allowing the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling to shape, carry and express the prayer. As you speak and repeat a word or phrase silently or aloud, you allow the words to connect with the rhythm of your breath.
How to do a breath prayer:
Take some time to envision how you could use the Breath Prayer practice. Make a list of words or a phrase of Scripture that you might use, and how this could help you open your heart.
Then:
As you inhale: Breathe in God’s goodness
As you exhale: Release your frustrations and anxieties
