From Cindy Fauerbach:
When I was in England this summer, I found a beautiful prayer from the Episcopal Church in Liverpool. I say it as a prayer and form of meditation and I think some of our parishioners could also find it a way to center and find calm.
Breathe
Feel the air in your nostrils
Hold your breath and then let it go
Use your breath as a rhythm of prayer
As you breathe in ask God to fill you
With life, energy and spirit
Preparing you for what comes next
As you breathe out let go of everything that
keeps you from God
Breathe in life
Breathe out death
Breathe in peace
Breathe out tension
Breathe in love
Breathe out hate
Breathe in the presence of God
Breathe in the presence
Breathe in
Breathe
