Breathe. Be still. Listen. Become aware.
Breath is sacred. Breath is a source of life. Treasure it at least once a day with sincere gratitude, for it is a precious gift from the Divine.
Nurtured lovingly by the soul, universal life flows with each breath to invigorate the body and bring healing to both mind and body. Should we not sing the song of praise to express the value of breath? Won’t we honor the Creator and Master within by standing still to observe the breath in each phase of inhaling and exhaling?
My breath this morning, each day, is a prayer to honor the sacredness of the life-affirming impulse of my breath. I breathe in worship of my eternal nature and to honor my existence and purpose in this world. As long as I have breath, I live and celebrate both existence and purpose.
I aim to remember to move beyond the physical breath into the breath of eternal existence. In breath, I nurture an appreciation of beauty and celebrate the delicate harmony and balance within my body.
