Matterofprayer: A Year of Everyday Prayers – Saturday, January 14, 2017
Breathe, Center, Pray.
Breathe. Just breathe. Big breath in, big breath out. Slowly.
This suggestion works for so many things. When you are afraid or fearful. Or, when you feel anxiety creeping up to get you. Perhaps, if you are angry and you need to cool down. Or, when you would like to calm yourself and focus.
As I said, this really does work. Slowing the breath seems to lengthen out time. Another suggestion? Keep track of your breaths. Slowly, slowly. Don’t cry or speed up or—especially—if you wish to find calmness, stillness, serenity, even.
If we pay attention to breathing, we can get down to the very foundation of life. The overarching principle remains the same.
Breathe. Calm yourself. Slow down and let yourself fill with all good things as you breathe in. Slow down further, breathe out, and let go of all anxiety, fear, anger. Let go, and breathe out everything negative.
Now you are in a much better place to connect with God. Reaching your Higher Power can happen at any time, true. However, breathing deeply, in and out, certainly helps us to center and concentrate.
Now, center. Now, pray. Now, serenity. Thanks, God.
