Expressing Peace. Breathe. 35.
Breathe Peace
Breathe. Draw air in through your nose slowly and deeply, all the way to your belly.
Hold that breath for a moment.
Breathe out through your mouth. Gently push the air with your belly muscles.
You probably didn’t do it.
Breathing is so natural, automatic, and involuntary that to make a special effort to do it in a special way seems unnecessary.
We are breathing all the time. Here are some interesting numbers from the Herald Tribune:
- A person at rest takes about 16 breaths per minute which means about 960 breaths an hour.
- That is 23,040 breaths a day, and that totals 8,409,600 a year.
- So if you live to 80, you will take some 672,768,000 breaths in your lifetime. That’s more than half a billion.
Allow your mind to rest on your breathing and feel the peace that results. Allow your Being to enjoy that gentle focus, the rhythm of your breath, and you will know the Peace that makes it all possible.
With more than half a billion breaths in your lifetime, concentrating peacefully on 5 or 10 each day, is not that great a commitment. Until you make it. Then you’ll see how great it really is.
Breathe in. Draw air in through your nose….
Bringer of Breath,
how wonderful is the power to breathe!
We breathe in life. We breathe out love.
The nurture of each breath gives us health.
The blessing of each breath is our spiritual creation:
each breath can let us know your Peace.
Each breath reveals our part expressing and sharing.
Each inhale-exhale fuels our role co-creating the Joy of Life.
Thank you, GOD, that we are not limited to our human breathing.
Thank you, GOD, that we breathe in your Love
that is the Peace,
that is our reason,
that is your blessing.
And so it is.
And so we breathe.
Amen. Amen.
Breathe Peace.
