"And the Lord God farmed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." -Genesis 2:7
Breath is automatic, we do it without thinking most of the time. However, when breath becomes intentional, it can be a powerful tool. Choosing to control something as automatic as our breath also helps to control other automatic reactions. The almost instinctive need to yell, fight or be unkind when we are misunderstood, ignored, belittled, or face opposition becomes a choice. If we breathe instead of react, in that moment we have the ability to choose our response instead of reacting. This is one of the highest forms of discipline. God granted all of us the gift of breath, when we use our breath to become better we are giving that breath back to God.
