Breathing In – Spiritual Breathing

Hey everyone!  I’m finally getting back into my rhythm of life after taking a much needed vacation over the past week.   If you missed my special guest episode with Tim Oladeru last week, be sure to check it out.   Today is the end of our work week at the church where I serve.   I almost rushed out the door this Thursday afternoon but sat down for a few minutes to slow things down and record this interlude.

There is a type of meditation called “spiritual breathing”.  It’s a way to slow down, meditate, and as you inhale, you imagine yourself breathing in the life and presence of God.  As you exhale, you imagine yourself releasing tension, stress, worry, sin, anxiety, and all of the millions of things that weigh us down.

My hope is that this short, 5:00 interlude will allow you to experience this.   As you listen, close your eyes and focus on breathing.   My encouragement would be that you don’t even speak or pray, but just breathe and focus on receiving God’s love as you inhale and releasing out all the heaviness as you exhale.

This is not new-age weird stuff, friends … there is no magic here.  There is no secret formula.   It’s just a way to engage our mind, our soul, our emotions, and when doing this in faith, experiencing a blessing from God, our Father.

Hey – did you notice this is Episode #99?   Let’s do something GREAT for Episode #100!
