The Importance of Breathing

Many texts have instructed me to pay more attention to my breathing but none got through to me the way Michael Sharp's work did. Michael never comes out and says "You must quit smoking" but everything he does say about breathing, maintaining a healthy physical unit, and acting consciously with the highest good of all concerned in mind clearly points to this necessity. Not to mention, cigarettes are becoming damned expensive! So now of course it is necessary for me to quit and I intend to work towards that but in the meantime, I am busy giving every breath, smoke filled and not, over to God. I have been giving each day to God for several years now, but Dr. Sharp's work has made me realize, in a more profound way than the Conversations with God material, that every breath can indeed be an act of Communion with God. I have given over my life to him, now I dedicate to Him every individual breath. He has done an amazing job in delighting me with this life I have handed over to Him, now let's see how far he can take me now that I am devoting every breath.
