Meditation in Motion: Yahweh-Breathe The Name of God

The name Yahweh is a sacred name of God in the Hebrew language that was long considered unspeakable. In his book, The Naked Now, author Richard Rohr says, "This unspeakability has long been recognized, but we now know it goes even deeper: formally the word was not spoken at all, but breathed! Many are convinced that its correct pronunciation is an attempt to replicate and imitate the very sound of inhalation and exhalation. The one thing we do every moment of our lives is therefore to speak the name of God. This makes it our first and last words as we enter and leave this world."
