"I've found this form of prayer is a real low barrier for those of us who sometimes feel a bit weird about prayer or have lost the old pathways of prayer. Sometimes this is the only way I can pray for broad stretches of time. It connects prayer between my body and my soul well - and deep breaths are never a bad thing for any of us."
-Sarah Bessey, 10 New Breath Prayers

Breath Prayer is becoming an integral part of my spiritual growth practices. I've set up an "upper room" in my home as a sacred space in which "to be." I don't do " human being" well, so during a difficult medical journey, I'm revisiting an old pathway to prayer: breath prayer. As a master of "human doing," with all emphasis on doing, I'm in great need of living life at a different tempo.

In today's episode, we learn how this ancient spiritual practice is deeply connected in science. Nancy S. Weins writes, "When deep trauma occurs, the well-trod paths of faith can be erased. In those situations, describing God's action as part of the most basic of human actions - breathing - can reignite an intimacy with the One, who is closer to us than our very breath."
