Breathing Is a Spiritual Experience

The other day, I read an article on the importance of breathing. It said that most people feel anxious and stressed when they aren’t breathing in enough oxygen. I understand more fully now what the article meant.

 A moment ago, I was feeling anxious and stressed. I took a deep breath, and I instantly felt better. I realize now that when we breathe deeply, we inhale the spirit of God that strengthens us and flows through every aspect of our body to energize and revive us.

When we breathe out, we are sharing our renewed strength in the form of carbon dioxide. We put it back into the universe as positive energy for others to inhale, use and pass on.

I now understand that breathing is more than a physical experience. It’s spiritual, and when we do it, we are not only renewed; we renew the world.
