Using
Breath Prayer
The
concept of Breath Prayers is that when you pray very slowly you can
truly concentrate on what it is you are praying about. You
begin by taking a deep breath, and when you exhale, you say the next phrase.
Keep repeating this. Breathing in, and praying when you exhale.
The following is a written example that you can use to get started,
but the idea is that you can do this anywhere. Try it in the
shower, while driving, or just to take a couple of minutes in the
midst of a busy day.
O
God, I am seeking
ways
to be
less
encumbered;
ways
to
simplify
my life;
ways
to build
spaces
and silences
into
a life full
of
busyness
and
noise.
Teach
me to find that
quiet
center of self
that
you have
hidden
within me,
a
resting in
your
presence.
