First Church of God

I’ve decided on a new experiment...  the breathing prayer. 

I remember discovering the breathing prayer; long ago when I was in college.  A friend was late picking me up as I waited outside Miller Auditorium, so I sat on a grassy spot, stared up at the sky, and started to breathe  s l o w e r.  As my body relaxed, so did my mind and spirit.  My breathing grew deeper and longer.  I began to imagine my entire body being filled with the Holy Spirit as I took in deep breathes; and then exhaled exhaustion and stress.  God’s presence became so real to me in those moments.  Since then I have experienced the breathing prayer at times.  But now, for my next experiment. I will do the breathing prayer at least once a day.  How can I creatively incorporate it into a 24 hour period...  24, yeah, that gives me an idea.  Tonight I am meeting some friends to watch 24; so I’ll see if they will join me in the experiment, and maybe we’ll try doing the breathing prayer during commercials. 

I wonder…    How much more amazing would Jack Bauer be if he practiced the breathing prayer?
