    We've got an extra special element in this episode! Not only do we chat about what it means to embody prayer; to pray and involve your body. We then walk you through it, so you can follow along! AND! We created an expanded *video* version for you to actually practice what we talk about!

  • Breath Prayer
    Ever wonder how you can ever fulfill the Biblical instruction to "pray without ceasing" (I Thessalonians 5:17)?  Breath prayer is a simple and beautiful practice to help you pray and be present to God in every part of your day. Connect your inhale and exhale to a simple prayer and you can use your breath prayer when you're in traffic, walking your dog, doing your dishes . . . virtually any time. Lexie & Michelle share their experience with breath prayer, and you get to experience it in this episode!

  • How to Disagree With Grace
    Tension from differing points of view has the power to break a relationship. But what if we could remember that a person is more important than an opinion? Can we choose to dig deeper into loving the person, more than digging in our heels and loving being right? (Interview w/Kiyomi episode #24)

  • Ruts, Rhythm, Revive
    We asked, you answered, and we responded. We set up a poll last month asking, "What will anchor your soul in the humdrum winter months ahead: Routine or Trying Something New?" This episode is our rejoinder with thoughts and methods of routine AND trying something new to create a sense of connection to God, self, and others. For more, listen to Episode 38 "Rhythm of Winter"

  • Reflect & Rest: a Meditation for Lent

    Allow Lexie to guide you in a meditation to welcome Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, a 40 day pilgrimage and preparation of the soul leading to Easter Sunday. All spiritual practices are for the purpose of entering more deeply in to God's love, presence and dependence on His grace. So if you find yourself burdened with the idea of Lent, giving up things, or deliberating over your sins, consider this an opportunity to reframe Lent as a time for intentional reflection and rest. 

    The Lectio Divina is from Psalm 103:8-14 TPT. 

    Poem excerpt from Circle of Grace, by Jan Richardson: "Blessing the Dust".

  • Resistance
    We here at Deep Breath get really excited about spiritual practices. If you've listened to just about any podcast episode, we will inevitably bring up a practice and encourage "trying it on". But what if there's fear? What if there is a sense of resistance? In this episode we address what's going on and why we repel silence, solitude, and stillness. And we rally to take heart; these disciplines are shaping intimacy, beauty, and freedom. References:
