Breath

Let us pause and consider our breathing.

With intention we slow our breathing.

Inhale…exhale.

Under stress, the breath comes quickly,

raising blood pressure,

ready to face the enemy.

Slowing breath with intention,

our body slows,

mind focuses on breath and spirit

blood pressure drops.

The ancients knew the connection

between breath and spirit, vital life force.

Ruach in Hebrew, 

Pneuma in Koine Greek, 

Prana in Sanskrit.

Inhale spirit;

Exhale worry, fear, hate.
