“Inspire” from the Greek root means: “God-Breathed”
Overcome misguided judgment by applying this truth
Breath in God’s Spirit, breath out anything less.
Some people mistakenly have prejudices (what prejudices are NOT mistaken?) against a variety of practices derived from ancient practices/systems such as Yoga and Reiki because they are “religions.”
I’m not getting into that argument, but the Greek root of the English “inspire” refers to deep-breathing …and forgetting the aspect of religion, I like to tell a true story about a woman who was healed of a very serious ailment, simply by taking in a deep breath and then steadily improved as she began to practice it as a daily exercise; she overcame, totally, a malady diagnosed and treated as asthma by her physician and the specialist to whom she was referred, both with M.D. following their names.
I’m not denigrating the medical system or attacking doctors here, either, I’m just pointing out how one woman was healed a medical “problem” that had plagued her for fifteen years and told that it was incurable.
Take the breath of life.
I’m not going to get into the story, if you want it I’ll send it to you, but I’ve found in my own life that deep-breathing while focusing on what/whom I refer to as our SPIRIT-PARENT, by whatever other title or name, has been extremely beneficial in meditation (another practice judged as being a “false religion” by some.
What I AM saying here is, the next time you are praying to overcome whatever ails you, and you may want to breathe deeply as an accompaniment to your praying …you may be amazed by the result. It sure works for me!
