Day 10 – Use A SEAL-Approved Breathing Technique

“Thus says the Lord God to these bones, Behold, I will make breath enter you so that you may come to life.” Ezekiel 37:5

Oh, what power our breath has! When anxiety, panic, and fear strike, breathing brings our minds to calmness and allows us to think. So when you feel the tell-tale alarms going off, stand with your feet hip-width apart, your spine straight, and roll your shoulders back. Relax your neck and situate your head so it rests straight on your spine. Then, inhale for a slow count of four. Hold your breath for a slow count of four. Exhale for a slow count of four. Do this exact breath three more times and become aware of the change God’s breath in you makes…

Prayer: Father, when everything around us feels out of control and we do not know what to take hold of and what to leave, we need only become still and breathe. What a wonder You have created us to be so that we can be aware of Your presence even in our every breath! May our acceptance of Your calming effect be a source of joy and wonder to all who behold it, making them aware of Your presence with us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
