Breath Prayer

Breath Prayer is a powerful way to integrate truths about God, often straight from the Bible, from our heads to our hearts. It takes our knowledge of God from 'head furniture' to a living faith and reality. We often "know" many things about God and perhaps even 'switch off' when we hear people saying certain things because "we've heard it all before". But those truths don't penetrate into our being, who we are, what we actually believe, and how we go about our everyday existence. The Breath Prayer creates space where we can actually allow God's truth to enter into our everyday reality. Here is our guide to Breath Prayer.
Breath Prayer was made famous by a story from Russian folklore called The Way of the Pilgrim. The Pilgrim's prayer was "Lord Jesus, have mercy upon me a sinner". An interesting read if you ever get a chance. Given its orthodox heritage, check out an Orthodox take on the Jesus Prayer.
