A Simple Healing Sacred Breath Practice to Access Your Soul-Power in Times of Stress by Bridget Mary Meehan ARCWP

 Do you need a prayerful time out during this time of chaos in our country and world? I know I do!

Jesus assured us that the Spirit blows where it wills and dwells within us, empowering us to do great things- in every circumstance 

"Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these...: (John 14:12-14)

For centuries, mystics and saints have reminded us-like Julian of Norwich- that no matter what happens "all shall be well."  For centuries, prophets challenged us to speak truth to power, resist evil and do good. 

In times of suffering and darkness, we need to center ourselves in the outpouring love of divine presence dwelling within us. In the midst of our anxieties and anger- we need to take some  prayerful "time -outs", so that we can make wise choices in responding peacefully in  the challenging situations we find ourselves today.

During times like this, I find the following simple, sacred breath practice helpful.

1. Take one breath and become aware that your heart is the dwelling place of love.

2. Take the second breath to connect to the Presence of God/Spirt/Higher Power within you that is guiding-healing- empowering you.

3. Take the third breath - aware of your soul-power to respond to the situation you are facing wisely and calmly.
