Wind Meditation: Breath Prayer
In the Hebrew Bible the word for Spirit - ruach - is alternately translated as spirit, as breath (or breath of life), and as wind. The ruach hovers over the deep before the creation of the world. The ruach blows back the waters of the great flood. The ruach gives life to the dry bones in Ezekiel's vision. In this meditation we consider how the wind of the Holy Spirit might revive and renew us, before practicing a simple breath prayer. Inhale: Breath of God, Exhale: Breathe on me. Inhale: Breath of God, Exhale: Loosen my grip. Inhale: Breath of God, Exhale: I breathe in you. Blessings, always, as you pray, dear ones. Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer - space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today - drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
