...the time has come to focus on breath...

When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace.
Author Unknown

     Take a deep breath and b r e a t h e ... inhale ... exhale ...
Have you ever stopped and realized you weren't breathing? I have done that so many times. Being preoccupied with being busy or just getting everything checked off my to do list, that I actually am not taking life giving consistent breaths! 
     The time has come to focus on breath. Life without being aware of consistently breathing brings illness. Life without breathing brings death. It's time to just stop and release the heavy burden that you have been carrying. It's time to let go of the baggage, the stuff, the mess that has attached itself to you and has become part of your being. Burdens are not part of your being.
     Breathing and being aware of your every breath brings life and health to our lives. Breath in the ancient Greek is "pneuma" and in a religious context it means spirit or soul. Begin to think about the amazing spirit that flows through us and breathe, breathe deeply. Begin to notice how quickly peace will replace the confusion and chaos. Thank God and give Him glory for every breath. Amen and so be it!
