Helpful Breathing with prayer repetition

[teresa]

Begin by quieting your mind in repeating the following five times, exhaling deeply after each repetition:

Most merciful God, hear my prayer: not my will, but yours, be done.

I speak this simple prayer out loud, take a deep breath in, then exhale deeply to reduce extreme anxiety

I close my eyes and when inhaling think that I'm inhaling gods mercy and goodness

when i exhale, I imagine in my minds eye, I'm blowing out all the anxiety, all the bad stuff

 

[teresa]

most merciful god, I inhale your love and goodness

(exhaling all the bad stuff)

 

[Zoleee]

Thank you, I LOVE this!

 

[teresa]

Thank you, I LOVE this!

at home I do it with only one nostril, and it forces me to inhale so much more oxygen!

It really helps to fill up all the way, and then let it out
