Feel the blessing of peace when you take hold of the life that is truly life.
Notice your breath.
Feel your in-breath and your out-breath.
Notice the consistent rhythm of this sacred sign of life.
Your breath moving in and out of your body.
Be still in your mind and know God.
Follow your inhalation and your exhalation as the breath,
The life moves throughout your body.
Use this awareness of your breath to connect to and rejoice in the life that is truly life.
Feel the Holy Spirit within you.
Your helper,
Your advocate,
Your comforter.
