Breathing With God in 2025

Breathwork is a foundational wellness practice. In fact, the first thing humans were ever given was breath. That’s what gave us life. This new year I challenge you in your wellness goals and health journeys to embrace this significant and powerful practice. A few physical benefits of breath work are:

 1.) Lowered blood pressure and heart rate.

 2.) Reduced levels of stress hormones in the blood. 

 3.) Reduced lactic acid build-up in muscle tissue. 

 4.) Balanced levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.

 5.) Improved immune system functioning.

 6.) Increased physical energy

 7.) Increased feelings of calm and an ease

A practical way you can use your breath and connect with God at the same time is through breathwork while meditating on scripture and visualization. Also ask God to give you permission to let go of what’s not serving you mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually so you can enjoy that space without anything or create space for what this new year holds.

To begin, invest 10-15 minutes a few times a week visualizing and breathing. Keep your inhale and exhale even. Count your inhale and exhale to be the same rhythm and believe that you are truly participating and partnering with The One who first gave it all those years ago back in the garden. 

For example, as you start controlling your breath think on and picture how God breathed life into Adam. The first human, God's greatest masterpiece, and how His breath brought him to life. Think about this incredible being all made and sitting there ready to be totally His, all it needed was His breath and when He breathed there was life. As you breathe, think about how valuable and what His life in your body and through who you are can bring to life who you truly are. You are literally still participating with this same incredible breath since the first breath in human existence. 

Remember God has entrusted you with His breath and you are now gifted with the amazing ability to live and be His. Ask God to use your breath to send out the negativity with every exhale, the disbelief, the poor mindsets, the bad habits, the fear, frustration, and whatever else He shows you to surrender. Ask and believe Him to impart His power, promises, life, and love with every inhale. I absolutely believe He will meet you this year so powerfully as you embrace Him and His amazing generosity of life within you with every breath you take. Happy New Year beautiful daughter of the King!

Here are some scriptures to rest on:

Genesis 2:7: "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" 

Psalms 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord”
