from Healthy & Redeemed - Helping Christians Grow in Mental and Spiritual Health · host Healey Ikerd, LPC, LMFT
Send us your thoughts through Fan Mail Summer Series - Episode 1 of 7 In this first episode of this series, I’ll walk you through the practice of deep breathing—not just as a way to calm your body and mind, but as a way to connect with the very breath of God. I’ll share what the research says about how deep breathing helps your brain, nervous system, and emotions, and we’ll reflect on Scripture that reminds us our breath is a gift from the Lord. You’ll learn how to deep breathe correctly, when to use it, and we’ll even practice together. My hope is that you’ll return to this episode anytime you need peace, grounding, or just a moment to be still in God’s presence.
