Breathe
I breathe and recognize the Presence.

If I am feeling anxious and uncertain, if my mind won’t settle down, I close my eyes and breathe deeply. With each inhalation, I feel the cleansing renewal of fresh air. As I exhale, I release tension. My body relaxes, and my mind quiets.

As unproductive and stressful thoughts fade away, my awareness expands. I feel spaciousness inside me. My calm mind notices the divine Presence I had formerly overlooked.

The life breath of Spirit cleanses and renews my soul just as cleaning renews my home. I feel satisfied as I survey the uncluttered spaciousness within me. With a relaxed body and a quiet mind, I open to experience the presence of Spirit.
Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.—Ezekiel 37:9

Spoke about this under sponsorship tonight.

Cleanse our body, our thoughts, and calm our emotions and know that our God is with us. We are not alone.

Like the slogan, Hesitate and Meditate, before I open my mouth, take a step, react, and or shut down because of fear, I need to breathe in God's Goodness, and let go of the fear and replace it with faith.

Like the dolphin, he is different and breathes a different way, and yet he is a child of God, and is given the ability to do the same thing for itself as we can do for us.

Never fear, God is near.
