Breath Prayers

INSTRUCTIONS: On the inhale (<), say the first phrase inwardly, reflecting on it, letting the words fill every cell of the body and the spaces in between. On the exhale (>), say the second phrase quietly, releasing and returning everything to the Source. Repeat as many as necessary until calmness and serenity fill your being. Then sit silently. When thoughts come, let them go, and return to your breath prayer.

<  O God, come to my assistance
>  O Lord, make haste to help me.

 

<  You are in me
>  I am in you.

 

<  O God, my God
>  My refuge, my rock.

 

<  Be not afraid
>  I am with you always.
